REPLICAR @ NEC 15-17th NOV

[Stiggy]

We will be on stand 19-186 near the live action stage. This is the last show of the season and what a show to end on, they expect over 40,000 visitors over the 3 days. We are not showing a classic of course but we are showing classic styling with modern reliable mechanicals. At £4995 for the comprehensive kit it makes a rusty old classic look expensive. Come and say hi, bring a flask and a pack up though!
I will be the one in a light blue race suit and silly polo helmet!

Just got back home Fantastic Show, so big! and many things to see arrived at 10am left at 3.30pm and left having only seen less than 1/2 of what was on offer Meet Stuart and Julie but hardly had time to talk as so many people wanted to know more about the Replicar they were inundated with questions.



Although this has got nothing to do with MEV, it was great to see some historic action at the show like this...

As we headed towards the NEC for day one it was clear that this was going to be a crazy 3 days. 2 miles of traffic blocked the exit from the M42 as thousands waited to see 11 huge halls jammed packed with exhibits. Over 60,000 people filled the isles and just half way through the first day we realised that we needed 1000's more leaflets. Pity they don't have a "pronto print" at the NEC!
This show is evidence that the economy is on the up, big time. Cash was flowing over the tool stalls and auction results were shocking. Mike Brewer and Ed China had them 20 deep at the live stage and the "wall of death" was packed. So how did MEV fit in? This show is huge, every classic car you could imagine was present.
Never before in the history of MEV have we attracted so much attention, a constant and sometimes dizzying stream of questions were thrust at us for 3 days solid. The classic car enthusiasts really did git it. Modern mechanicals under the skin of that classic shape was embraced and enjoyed by everyone. Not a single negative comment all weekend. Even the older guys with AMOC on their ties were complimentary. We opened so many eyes to the fascinating world of kit cars and I have absolutely no doubt that orders will flood in as a result of this amazing experience.
