Luxury Motor Show Nottingham

[DayTrader]

There was a sticky thread for this in the FML section but it has since moved to the events section here:

Just thought I would post again here for anyone who is interested!

If you are up that way then cool, otherwise I suspect a CHARITY show such as Wilton House will be the MUCH better one to aim to visit!!

LMS have the sporting bears offering charity rides I think.
I am looking forward to Wilton this year for the first time. Don't think there's much else like it, and as you say it's all for a great cause!
CITP is on at Newby Hall on 22nd too - May is a busy month for events!

Whilst the Luxury Motor Show is a new event to the motoring calendar, our primary aim is to provide an entertaining day out for motoring enthusiasts, families and general public. However, we will be raising money for 'When You Wish Upon A Star' in conjunction with Sporting Bears' passenger rides, a charity raffle and helicopter rides.

We are also pleased and proud to have the founder of When You Wish Upon A Star, Barbara White OBE, present on the day who will be giving a talk on her charity. In addition to this, we will be offering helicopter and passenger ride 'wish grants' to the disadvantaged children who are associated with the charity.

Hence, whilst we may not be as prominent a charity event as Wilton House, we are still doing our part to raise awareness, support and funds for a local charity.

Also, we do have some display vehicle spaces left if anyone on is interested in bringing their supercar/luxury car along to the show! If so, please either PM me or visit the website and fill in the application form (website link is on the thread below)

Whilst Wilton House Supercar day is fantastic and Lord Pembroke supports the Stars Appeal for children in Salisbury these events have two main differences as I see?
1 - 185miles of road
2 - May and August

Sporting Bears Dream Rides will be at the LMS to offer rides to disadvantaged children from When You Wish Upon A Star in a Maseratti, Jag XK Convertable, Impreza, Ultima GTR, Gallardo Spyder, Bentley Supersport and TVR Cerbera. These cars will then be offered for public donations to the same charity for Sporting Bears Dream Rides, 10 miles on the open road as a passenger. I also understand a Helicopter will be offering the same to both children from WYWUAS and then donations from the public. Both are donating ALL money raised from donations with NO expenses for petrol, time, etc (and I thought the Gallardo fuel bill was high till you think what a helicopter uses!) and we have been able to offer this fundraising only by the support of the LMS event.

So if you love cars, are not attending one of the many other motoring events around the UK on the same day and fancy a day near Nottingham why not pop in and look around, donate to a Dream Rides with us or go up in a helicopter all for Charity. Then later in the year pop in to Wilton House, as many of us will also be doing and enjoy another day around cars.

What no charitable Ferrari owners in Nottingham on Sunday?

Sporting Bears Dream Rides are going to offer in alphabetical order - Bentley Supersports, Jaguar XK Convertable, Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, Maserati GT Spyder, Subaru Impreza, TVR Cerbera, Ultima GTR - all you have to do is attend the Luxury Motor Show, choose the car, make the donation to help children and we do the rest, for 10miles in the car of your dreams.

Ferrari Fans will have to wait I'm afraid as none have volunteered with a Ferrari but still, what a line up!

[SCD]

It appears both Reventons will be there on Sunday: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/... Now that will be something special to see!

[v8lover]

That's actually an error on Autoexpress' behalf. I've told them to change it, as some of the details are incorrect/misleading... although having said that, we do have some interesting and rare Lambos coming along!

I think the lack of Ferrari is made up by the fact that there will be a helicopter on the day, offering very affordable helicopter rides across Nottingham, with 100% proceeds going to charity! (bear in mind that a helicopter costs approx £7 per minute to run!)
