Wingz123 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Sad they pulled Earls Court down.... Was Boris that gave the go ahead on that wasn’t it I used to attend Infosec there every April
mercrocker Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 I went to one or two of the Seventies motor shows. Those pics capture Earls Court perfectly - nylon carpets, birds in nighties, impossibly shiny cars and overpriced shit food outlets. It was a mystical place to a 12 year old.... Sudsprint, Zantimisfit, richardthestag and 3 others 6
Sheefag Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Aye. I bet you could spell 'Safety' as well. inconsistant, chaseracer, Datsuncog and 16 others 19
Pillock Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 That Flickr album they've robbed them from is by no less than PakyanHunter! Sheefag, Magnificent Rustbucket, Kringle and 3 others 6
GrumpiusMaximus Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 That Flickr album they've robbed them from is by no less than PakyanHunter! Very cheeky indeed.
Pillock Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Good pics like, but it's actually easier to view them on Flickr directly.
Dick Cheeseburger Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Shit the bed, I want a time machine. And a barn.There's pretty much nothing there that I don't like - I'm still struggling as to which stand I'd visit first - Dodge to see the Charger? Chrysler to have poke around the Sunbeam Sport? Lambo, to stroke and gawp at the Miura? Or BMW, to perve at the lovely ladies? Sudsprint 1

lesapandre Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I drove past the Earls Court entrance on Saturday and can conform the building completely gone. I went to quite a few of the 60's Motor Shows - and got to say 'hello' to Sir William Lyons once, I even saw the Pink Floyd in concert there in 1977. Happy memories. Excel in E. London is where it happens these days exhibitionwise. The old Olympia still survives tho. Still used.

Keep that up and you'll fit in a treat around here.
Pillock Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 It wasn't until the Mid 80s when I was about 7 or 8 I started going to Motor Shows, my ma and grandfather used to take me down on the train, meet my uncle who lived in Harrow and I would not leave until I'd got more brochures than we could collectively carry. It was a proper little adventure.I obviously used to shun the prestige and sporty marques and pester the reps on stands like Peugeot and Vauxhall for all the pens, badges, stickers and bags they had.
Sudsprint Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I would seriously worry about anyone who wasn't turned on by these photos.. privatewire and Kringle 2
