Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

would be good to see some rtoc attendance.. I presume this is like a car show whereby the standard of cars is sky high and if you dont fit the bill your not welcome.

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

This was the same show my Car was on the Meg's Stand last year. See HERE

I remember reading that when Stephen Dell of the RAOC looked into exhibiting at the show he metioned it cost something stupid like £3000 a car :eek:

Hence no RTOC attendance :D

To answer the original question posed in this thread, Big Willy's Clio Williams will be on the Meg's stand this year for winning the WSR 10 Best In Show & he's an RTOC Member! :D

See his post in this thread.

I think next door is the Top gear MPH show on at the same time too, If you get the MPH tickets you get into the classic car show free, but its not very well advertised. Tickets are 45pound though:dearme::dearme:

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

Got a response from the Classic Car Show already! :eek::niceone:

Hi Steve

Paul has forwarded your email on to me for attention.

Car Club allocations normally take place around March/April each year. If you wish to apply for a stand you will need to request an application form either at the show this year or straight after the event.

There is a great demand for club stands but we do like to encourage new clubs to participate. The stand space is free of charge and the size of the stand is dependant on how many cars you wish to exhibit.

The exhibit cars need to be in place on the day before the show opens. For example: Build up day Thursday, open days Friday, Saturday & Sunday. All cars can be removed as soon as the show closes on Sunday night.

I sincerely hope the above information helps.

Regards

Sandra Holloway

I reckon I can feel a list coming on....? :laugh:

Why's that, it'll be easy.

It should be:
- A Modified one
- A Standard One
- A Wide One
- A Coupe Racer
- A T2
Or something like that?

Believe it or not i'd pass on exhibiting my car next year as I did it last year. Mission.... :coffee:

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

well done steve and Ian,

I said we should go to this years ago as its a HUGE untapped show! plus the renault parts that I found there a few years ago was amazing

but it looks like the club is finally opening its eyes that there is more to life than maxpower ;)

I would check the details with them as the stand 'space' maybe free (like most exhibitions offer) but they may charge you for a 'stand' or you will have to pay an external company to 'build' you a stand there, just my experience from organising exhibitions.

Yes - please come and support our car this year! RTOC stand in the future would be an excellent idea but as people say, how you keep everyone happy who may want to attend will be a challenge...:confused:

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

you will prob just have to two list one main one and a reserve just in-case someone has to drop out

im sure members will appreciate that we cant have the hall too ourselves :) and just rotate it next year or you could have a little contest at one of the National days....??? just an idea

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

:confused:just alittle point

are we or are we not the renault turbo OC?

so perhaps we should get a 9 or 11 on the stand??????? or even that mint 25v6 that keeps coming up on piston heads and ebay

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

Or maybe a Gordini turbo, or even a Megan 225?

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

gordini or T2, as both always draw a crowd!

Megane might be a bit new for the show! ;-)

But could it be a future classic? Will it have a following like the 5's?

But a Renault 4, 5, 19, 21 would be ultra cool ;)

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

The Nova Sport, whilst looking a fantastic piece of work, was not entirely as it seemed....

The guys who were on the main Vauxhall owners club stand said it had been rebuilt using a green shell from a 1.0 standard Nova, therefore chassis numbers etc. do not tie in with the orginal build numbers for the Nova Sports....
30-11-2010, 17:25
BigWilly425

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

However, before my legal team get involved, this was only comments from the Vauxhall guys.... They had Nova Sport chassis number 1 on their stand but it was nowhere near as clean as the rebuilt example on the Meguiars stand.

Re: This years NEC Classic car show, No RTOC

We had one of those lancia montecarlo's in for awhile at ours, was sat at his home so long callipers had all seized(alluminium callipers) when he drove it to us it melted all the brake flexis and had no brakes, took ages to get bits off the owners site.
Lovely looking car, sounded great,built like a tvr and dissapointing to drive :(
