She wasn't wearing that tonight, sadly. Enjoyed catching up with the trade there. Some big names elected not to come back this year. I think it was too close to retromobile.

Abellio has no trains from the east into Liv St / Straford this w/e. So anybody know if the roads nearby (off Prrince Regent Road) allow one to avoid the 15 quid ExCel parking charge? Thx,

Got home just now.

Got there at opening time,which was definitely the best thing,stayed 3.5 hours,my back hurting a little by then and very busy.

Also all the Excel parking was full when I left.

Agree with comic con thing,some right funny sights wandering around.

Great show, there was a nice mix of cars and not too crowded when we visited on Fri. Here's a link to my shots and a little taster.

Great Pics, Have to say I did not bother with the show this year as last year it seemed mainly a show for people with money in their pocket who were looking for an investment...or not! there did not seem much there for people who already own a classic or Sportscar.

Looking at the pictures it looks like there were a lot more cars there this year. Have to agree about the food at Excel....Not my cup of tea, we left and found a pub.

Some of my pictures from the show are here https://www.flickr.com/photos/134927154@N06/albums...

Apparently one of the McLaren F1 road cars was for sale, they only wanted £11,000,000 for it! There were 7 F1s at the show, 5 of them race spec in one form or another.
