NEC Classic Car Show 2015 - pictures

Looks good.

that red capri rs3100 was parked down my road the other day, small world

Is it strange that out of those cars i've got the horn for that black MG Maestro ?

Thanks chaps. 100-ish new photos from today deposited in the gallery for your delectation.

New stuff kicks in from about halfway down page two.

Keithyboy - funny you should make that comparison, the bulk of today's pics were yanks and high-end stuff!

My picks from that lot curiously appear to be mainly racing cars

I'm VERY VERY keen to know more about this, details, its provenance etc. anyone able to hook me up?

Wedgey concept cars are never boring

Aston race cars are best race cars

I still remember a time when I've never seen one of these before. They still delight me

Alvis (I think) Rod, brilliant take on the whole American woody rod look, I love it

Maserati race cars may be a close second to Astons

Another firm favourite in the HTW house hold

This appears to be some kind of TVR with a really odd front end treatment, I'm assuming it has some details behind it that make it rare and awesome?

To be honest I could have picked out a load of other pictures too, the Roll Hard guys with the slammed Volvo, Mr.R.Cumberbatch's Imp styling it out on the Imp Club stand, a bunch of cool rods and things. It is nice to see though the retro stuff being spread about the place. I've always found it curious that the classic scene embraced race cars, but didn't like street cars so much.

Grand stuff all round.

I'll admit, between manning the ABVWC stand and running round like an idiot trying to get photos, I didn't have a great deal of time for gathering info.

The X1/9 belonged to this club - www.x1-9ownersclub.org.uk/ Perhaps it'd be worth tapping them up for details?

The TVR is an oddity. All I know is that it's called a TVR Gem, it's a one-off, it's been through multiple incarnations in its lifetime, and has mostly been owned and developed by veteran race driver Tommy Entwistle. Its most recent owner is on Pistonheads - could be worth asking him? Pistonheads thread here.
