A huge show and always extremely well attended.
Some kit car manufacturers will be exhibiting.
They include MEV on stand 2945 with Exocet and Replicar, GBS, ESC plus others I understand.

also noted from TKC that Aries will have a kit on show. 4 manufacturers, not many considering how many firms there are but a good selection for all to see.

Judging "show or no" by pure economic considerations is one way of looking at it. But let us consider that the NEC will be rammed with over 80,000 visitors over 4 hectic days. Most of whom are petrol heads and therefore many will be interested in building a car and some just hadn't realised that they should.
So thankfully some of us are still flying the kit car flag thus supporting our industry.
The atmosphere is electric, a vibrant show with almost too much to see. I love it.
Anyone concerned about costs can take a pile of GRP seats or sets of lights and make a killing. Stalls often sell out of stock at this one.
I sincerely hope that the kit car firms that have gone to the expense and effort are rewarded with a river of money flowing into their pockets.
As a show gesture we are offering Exocet comprehensive kits at only £2595 and a whopping £1000 off Replicar at only £4995.
Too much for some to resist no doubt.
In my experience it is always best to offer a deal at shows of this type as many will be drawn in but not close a deal unless a carrot is dangled. There are always cash machines for those wishing to place an order and pay £100 holding deposit.

Any special deals on the CKC stand?

Yep, we'll be doing subs for £42 (so £3.23 an issue over a year... less than a cheap round in the pub!) and discounts on our range of books too.

Free 2017 calendars, too!
Adam really, you used the 4 letter F word. Not even in my vocab!

It was busy last year.
