NEC Restoration Show

[hilly10]

Some nice cars on show today, but did seem a tad smaller then years gone by. There were a fair few fast Fords that I would have wanted to own in a heartbeat

















Me with Fuzz really nice guy to chat to, fellow Walsall boy.

Great photo.

As much as I grew up loving Fast Fords there are none I'd want to buy at current prices! I'm just glad I had them when they were only old Fords!

The Car Bradley Walsh asked for after he did not like the drive of the DB5 it’s basically a DB9 stripped down then redesigned with new body panels, have to say it looked stunning. They have now sold four cars using Brads as a sales vehicle.

I attended yesterday also. Have to say I'm not a fan of old or new fords. Always thought of them as cheap. I thought the show was full of them. I would guess that other clubs never wanted to have stands and the ford followers took the spaces?

The autojumble was ok I guess. I picked up what I needed at reasonable prices.

I really liked the dark blue saab 96. Really nice.

I know what you mean it was awash with Fast Fords many of them very nice, but at the moment it seams that’s were most of the money is going. I like the MK1 Escorts can take or leave the others, would I swap my TR6 then no, if I had a spare garage I would love to fill it with a 1300 GT

I was planning on going but Covid put a stop to that. If it was full of Fords i'd have been very happy.

I went, I thought it was pretty good having never been before. In all honesty it was just nice to go out to an event with my mate and my father in law having hardly done anything interesting in the last couple of years

I went, but spent most of my time in the autojumble and trade stalls, the club stands don't really do anything for me unless it's a club I'm in or particularly interested in. Suspended my usual "how much?" attitude and had a lovely steak and ale pie.
