Classic Motor Show returns to Birmingham’s NEC

11th June 2009 Print
The UK’s biggest classic motoring exhibition returns to Birmingham this November as the Classic Motor Show opens its doors from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th November. Spanning six halls of the NEC and displaying over 1,200 cars and 250 motorcycles from all over the World, the Classic Motor Show is the climax to the British classic car season and a chance for the UK’s motoring clubs to come together and celebrate the best of the classic motoring scene.

And what’s more, tickets are now on sale which is perfect timing for Father’s Day. Treat your Dad to tickets for a stroll down memory lane and possibly find his first or dream car as every motoring taste is catered for with around 200 of Britain’s best motoring clubs creating impressive displays of unusual and breathtaking marques.

Andy Rouse, Show Manager, said: “The UK classic motoring scene remains healthy, even through these tough times. In terms of alternative investments for many people at the moment the simple choice is should you leave your hard earned money in the bank earning no interest or enjoy it. And why not? A well restored and maintained classic isn’t a risky purchase in terms of depreciation and it’s a lot more fun and far better looking than a bank statement! For anyone looking to buy a classic or for anyone who just loves cars, The Classic Motor Show is the place to be. Whether you’re an expert, or you’re new to the scene, you’ll be made more than welcome.”

Other features at the Classic Motor Show include an the energetic live stage with special guests answering all your questions and giving away fab prizes including a 1960s Morris Mini while experts in the Restoration Theatre will show you how to tackle all aspects of restoring your cherished classic car. Take a ride as a passenger in your dream car in exchange for a donation to charity, courtesy of the Sporting Bears Motoring Club.

With around 300 trade stands selling parts and spares, tools, motoring memorabilia and much more, you are sure to find everything you need to feed your motoring habit.

Or if you prefer two wheels, there is a dedicated Classic Bike hall complete with spectacular club displays, the gleaming classic bike concours, interviews with biking heroes, trade stands and the popular bike jumble.
