I went a couple of years ago and thought it was ok, not brilliant but ok. I'm glad I went (Earls Court) but wouldn't necessarily go again.

MPH alone is a waste of money if you ask me, I go to the Classic car show at the NEC every year. The MPH part is just an added bonus to fill in an hour or 2. Never seen the live show though.

do you need separate admission tickets for each part? the classic car show would appeal to me more than the live show tbh biggrin


F--K me!!!! £45 each (me and the mrs) for basic admission to NEC MPH eek

don't think we'll bother tbh

Me and my dad were going to go to Earls Court this year as the NEC one i think is a little disappointing, however after taking all costs in to account, MPH Ticket, Train ticket return, Tube ticket and food it worked out to be about 80 quid each for the day, too expensive IMO.

And don't forget £10 to park the car!!

Went a couple of years ago, wasnt overly impressed, MPH show was complete crap, half a hall of rubbish. The classics show on the other hand was top notch, if we didnt get free entry to that i would have felt ripped off

Went to earls court the first year it was out really good fun BUT not cheap.

Goodwood festival of speed isn't cheap either but still very good only been once ad I'd say it was better


Have to also admit to going to a max power at nec must be 15 years ago now. Any good.... Well at the time I thought great but hind sight tosh. Especially the adult only zone ie topless long wait and a nipple at the end pointless.

Silverstone classic... Now been there twice excellent and much cheaper than goodwood plus proper racing.

That said the mrs has offered to take me to the nec belated birthday gift.

Classic car show is £17.50 and that ticket gives you access to MPH, But not the live show!

Word of advice though, if you don't mind a walk then you can park at the NCP at the airport and walk over to the main halls (Via the airport/Monorail which is free). Works out about the same money as the NEC. I do this as I stay for the weekend due to cars on display in the classic show, but it isn't a bad walk. I also feel that the NEC take the piss with the parking as they have the market cornered so i'd rather give the NCP a little and have the car probably safer!

it came out at £9.45 to stay in the NCP from 10:00-16:00 http://www.ncp.co.uk/airport-parking.htm?rw.cm=Goo...

or did I price it up wrong?

that is £1.45 more than the NEC carpark...thanks anyway

£1.45 and the car would be more secure than an open car park, and the principal of NEC raping the crap out of people!

I'm going on the Friday. Have been before and really enjoyed it, managed to find a code for the Gold tickets so they were only £48 each. wink
