I really enjoyed this show last year. Anyone going?

Ok it's not on the same scale as the NEC but then again neither is the admission price, and you don't get stung for parking.

I shall be going and my car (MK3 SAVAGE) will be on the MTOC stand.
There will also be the only other genuine road legal MK3 SAVAGE on the stand.

We have a good selection of 60's Mini Coopers including a barn find Cooper S (ok it was a garage!)that hasn't seen the light of day since 1981. Looking forward to it!

Never been but thinking about it, what's it like for just a car enthusiast?

It's not all classic stuff, quite a few modern supercars will be there, lots of various trade stalls, lots of free parking. It's easy to get to (just next to the Trafford Centre), petrol head heaven!

I went to this last year, but can't this year as I've got stuff on both days unfortunately. It's not a bad show, last year was quite small but then it's new on the calendar, so it will take some time to build up. A mixture of classic and modern vehicles and some autojumble. There's parking on the same side of the road, but I parked in the main Trafford Centre car park and crossed the incredibly gaudy walkway (think eighties Las Vegas decor) to the hall.

This year is much bigger and occupies three halls. If anyone's wondering - no I'm not on a reatainer, but any event of this size put on vaguely in the North deserves supporting. We don't get many!

Absolutely - if I wasn't booked for other things I'd go and have a look.
