Jim 2 Posted January 29, 2016 Folks.. The Corrado Club have been granted a 6 car club stand at this event: http://www.necrestorationshow.com/ It's a nice little show occupying a few halls of the NEC, with a wide variety of cars and trade stands selling all sorts of tools and supplies for car restoration as the name suggests. We've got 3 spaces left and would love to be able to fill the stand with Corrado's. We'll have the club gazebo, we'll have some merchandise, etc so it would be fantastic to be able to fill the space with some cars too. Only caveat is that the car needs to be dropped off in the halls on Friday and can't be moved again until Sunday evening when the show closes, but if you don't need the car during that time it will be kept an eye on at all times by several of us who will be there and manning the club stand all weekend. The NEC is connected by a quick trip up the line to Birmingham New Street station so getting to and from it is very easy. If you're a member of the club and want to stick your name down, the event to register against is here: http://www.corradoclubgb.co.uk/ccgb16/index.php?option=com_illbethere&controller=events&task=view&id=122&Itemid=202 Cheers.

This is a great little show - surely someone must be interested? Hi Jim Couple of questions if I may pls (I did check the link but couldn't see the info) Is CCGB membership required? what are the ticket costs? What time do the cars need to be dropped off by on the Friday? does it matter what 'state' the car is in? my VR is a nice example but the paint is micro blistering :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 24, 2016 At this point I'm sure we'd happily waive the CCGB requirement just to fill the stand. We currently need two cars, possibly three! Tickets will be provided to you free of charge for the entire duration of the show - so a setup / teardown ticket for the Friday, and show tickets for Saturday and Sunday. For drop off, ideally in the morning on Friday as the halls fill up with other exhibitors making getting the cars in and out difficult! State doesn't matter too much - I mean it is a car show with paying punters, but if it's of a reasonable overall standard, then that'd be great :) The good thing about it being indoors is you can pretty much wash and detail the car in the hall as needed - so it's a great chance to give the car a damn good polish and wax ready for spring!

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted February 24, 2016 oh balls! I knew the 4th march was jangling in my brain for some reason - the VR has its mot due that day but it goes to mechanic on the 3rd It might be a close cut thing but I will see if I can jiggle it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 24, 2016 Drat! Well I guess we can only hope it sails through the MOT and arrives on the Friday with a fresh ticket :) Bump for anyone else interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
