CSCC & NEC Classic Car Show

The CSCC will be exhibiting at the NEC Classic Car Show this weekend (12-14 Nov) and will have 4 classic race cars on display. Start next season's preps off early & come along and have a chat about next year.

The stand is in Hall 4, near all the main car club stands.

(In the interests of fairness, the HSCC and Historic Rally Car Regster will also be there! There are usually a few competition cars scattered amongst the more polished road car exhibits)

I'll be on the stand directly behind the CSCC. Oh, and we have a very nice Group 2 Alfa on display

It would be good if someone can take a few pics of 'our' type of stands and cars and put them up here!

Went up today and was disappointed with Halls 1-3, so many replica cars and why are there 58 and 55 plate cars on show.

Hall 4 was good, plenty of room around the cars in that hall....but the camera had long been put away by then.

Gary, don't know what's there but certainly anything appropriate to this forum would be good.

I was helping on the Alfa Romeo OC stand yesterday - very close to the CSCC stand - which I visited, of course - should have taken some pix of the 105 GTAm that we had on the stand......nice car

Regret to say saw the Mustang stand but didn't have time to look closely, Moose

As usual, when you assist on a stand, you don't get to see much of the show - what I saw was pretty good, though

Selection of photos:

Not in any particular order - as usual with such a show it was difficult to get clean shots before someone walked in the way! A mix of cars photographed including some rally as well as race. On viewing the shots of the HRCR stand I realised that I completely forgot about the HSCC stand next to it!

Had a quick chat with Tony (I think) on the CSCC stand - they've already got their programme of events sorted for next year and looking like another good spread of events / circuits for the club.

The Porsche 356 below was for sale at £175,000 - tempting but about £174,000 too much for me.

Last batch.

I've included the Rochdale Olympic as I recall it generated some interest on this year's Le Mans Classic thread and I have to confess that I've not seen one 'in the flesh' before.

The Sunbeam Tiger was apparently subject of a full re-build in August this year and competed at Donington last month in an Intermarque race.
