Were some of those taken on set-up day? It looks a bit empty in there... :tumbleweed: :lol:

Set-up day at the NEC is a good time to take photos, except that they only have 1/2 the lights on in most areas so you're lucky if there's enough light to take pics :roll:

So how come you and the other Mopes were there? Were you with a local club?
Cheers Rob

Those photos were taken Sunday morning

The show was open 10am to 5pm both days, but exhibitors could go in from 8am, I took advantage of that arrangement Sunday morning (don't do lie ins :D), I got most of the way round before 10am, both days were really busy with visitors

Setup day was Friday 11am to 8pm+, I got there at 6pm and stayed for a couple of hours, I did think about using this time for photos but it was still quite busy with cars coming in, building up stands, etc

Me, Jay / black Satellite and the blue Dodge were individual entries, the Cherokee, bronze Satellite and burgundy Barracuda were with the AACNW, Graham / plum Challenger was with the Rainy City Old Boys

Thanks Si, sounds like a nice, scaled down version of the NEC, which is getting more crowded and more strict for exhibitors every year!

Manchester show.

I've heard about this event but never knew when it was, looks to have been some top quality motors, especially the Capri,s and escorts. You take some fantastic photos si, great to see Jason's satellite all cleaned up looks awesome. Remember seeing the burnt orange 70 satellite before, looks like it's been painted , restored, thanks for sharing. RichardðŸ‘￾

Superb pics as always Si....thanks! :thumbright:

Looks like the fast Fords were out in strength. The MK1 Mexico is gorgeous.

Love the big Citreon and the redlines on the E Type are cool.

Your car looks fantastic too as always =P~

Cheers Steve :thumbright:
