Well, it's that time again - NEC Classic Motor Show time! Happening from today up to Sunday, and as usual I'm there for all three days. Not taking as many photos as I used to... however, the set so far can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/93233071@N06/sets/72157637704938716/And some samples of what's on offer - don't look if you're going to the show this weekend and don't want spoilers!   DSC_0005 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0011 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0036 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0047 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0060 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0076 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0079 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0118 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  DSC_0127 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr As usual, post up anything you enjoy. Also, since I know show thread pics generally aren't all that popular, I thought I'd add a little element of interactivity since I'm there again tomorrow and Sunday. Is there any particular marque/model people would like to see more of within the gallery, within reason? Tell me, and I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow. Did you see something awesome at the show today but didn't get a pic, and it's not in my gallery? Give me a description and an approximate location and I'll snap it! In other words... any requests? |

Nice pics, doesn't look too crowded either. Did you notice if Retro Ford magazine have a stand? Anything obscure and British would be nice. Gilbern perhaps? Anything a bit off-track too, particularly if it's old and has an unfeasibley big engine fitted. |

 Saw this today and thought it was brilliant. The green pop with the bomber seats was sublime too |

Sweet!! Here's a suggestion list - any Alvis - 60's Alfas - any Maserati, but 80's-90's especially - any special coachbuilt vehicle - 50's and 60's Fords, especially Cortinas Zodiacs and Consuls That should do for now  thanks a lot for any picture of the show at all, since I couldn't possibly visit it! - |

Well, Saturday came and went, and there's another 100 photos in the gallery. www.flickr.com/photos/93233071@N06/sets/72157637704938716/Clicky there, new stuff will be down at the bottom. Just keep scrolling until you don't recognise anything. As for the requests... in order of request-ment....  018-DSC_0027 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  075-DSC_0093 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  076-DSC_0095 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  068-DSC_0084 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr And some other stuff which was awesome...  063-DSC_0077 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  040-DSC_0050 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  110-DSC_0130 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  103-DSC_0123 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  072-DSC_0089 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr Clement - I might have covered some of those bases in today's pics, but I'll make a note and concentrate on those areas tomorrow! Having these little "photo missions" is actually quite fun! |

Well, that's done for another year! Had a great weekend all round. Gallery updated with another 100ish new pics, again just click the original link and keep scrolling down to make it appear. So, Clement... your suggestions... Alvis:  078-DSC_0106 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  081-DSC_0109 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr This one's a Charlesworth coachbuild, satisfying two requests in one!  080-DSC_0108 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr Alfas:  074-DSC_0098 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  088-DSC_0121 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr Maseratis - the stand layout didn't lend itself too well to clear snapping, this was the best I could do:  075-DSC_0100 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  076-DSC_0101 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  077-DSC_0103 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr Coachbuilds and special bodies... must admit, my knowledge of these is minimal at best. Still, we've got the Alvis above, plus this Hooper Bentley:  087-DSC_0119 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr ... and this Alexander bodied Austin Sprite:  073-DSC_0097 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr And 60s Fords....  054-DSC_0063 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  053-DSC_0061 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  052-DSC_0060 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr  051-DSC_0059 by SamagesDubz, on Flickr Hope these will do! There's a load more new stuff in the gallery in addition to these. Sorry most of the pics aren't great quality wise, but the NEC lighting and my dismal skillZ = grainy pics. Sooo... same time next year, I suppose! |

It must be 3-4 years since I've been to this. Looking at your pics, I'm really regretting not taking up the offer of a free lift that came my way on Friday.
