NEC Classic car show pics... but mostly the shite bits. Completed it M8.

Alright then, the requests... absolutely bombed it around this morning trying to fulfil as many of these as possible, some weren't entirely possible to do. Must admit I wasn't expecting as many requests as I got, my threads usually die on their arses. 😅

Anyway, hope I've at least partly managed to get what you all wanted and apologies in advance for any disappointment. 

Let's begin...

Fiat, Lancias, Alfa, Innocentis, Autobianchis.

The latter two seem to be MIA. The others, though...

That's jolly decent of you. Thanks for the pics so far. Makes me feel like I'm there. Personally I'd like Skoda and any other East European stuff, MX5 (yes I know yawn boring), Wolseley esp 1500 (thanks for the Riley btw, it's lovely), Merc. Ta.

Couldn't find a Wolseley badged 1500, but there was another Riley one!

Have you seen the orange-gobbed Rover 200s?

Great pics, thanks for sharing! I'm hoping to get back there next year. As for requests, any 70s/80s Hondas for me please. Though actually most 60s-80s stuff works, so don't stress.

Honda was a weird one, the 60s and 90s are decently represented here, seems to be a gap around the 70s-80s. So here's a 60s Honda and a couple of 80s ones...

Oof! Drove one once, many years ago. Bloody terrifying with a cross wind but great fun! Thanks for taking the time. Prelude is cool but I prefer the earlier ones.

not a request as such as I saw it on FB, but there is a Yugo Sana lurking there somewhere 😍

Any early pre-BMC Austins? Also, the Farnia A40's 55's and 60's? Also, anything British.

I'll come back to this one - there's a LOT of British stuff to cover!

Excellent pictures, thank you.

If you come across any Landcrabs, Elans, +2 and Europas and any 1100/1300s and Alvises it would be much appreciated.

Here goes...

Splendid pics, thank you!  So many cars there that I've owned when they were worthless!

Please please PLEASE tell me you're planning to shoot up close and personal with Deja Vu tomorrow?

This thing really is a sight to behold. To get the side shot, I had to use panoramic mode!

The Beta coupe and Fulvia coupe are two itches I still need to scratch.

Many thanks for the Italians.

A Ford dump, for anyone who asked for Fords. And for everyone else, too!

Some Americana for those who asked...

Lots more overlooked underdogs please!

Well, it doesn't get more underdog than a Sana! 

And here's an underdog story for you... a Rover 400 and Renault 11 made it into the prestigious Meguiars concourse, alongside the 6 figure ultra-cars!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I can’t make it there this year. I understand everything is shifted around a bit this year. If you happen to be around the Citroen stands a few (or a lot of) pictures of the Traction Avants would be appreciated.

And anything American.

And the Friskys.

thanks.

Americans are a few posts back, so here's some Traction Avants and a six wheeled Frisky... plus an H van which happened to be on the Traction stand.

You sir are a star! Thank you for all the pics. 
6 wheels on a Frisky? So many questions!

I thought that was a possibility at the time?

It was used for a rally in Monte Carlo apparently, the extra rear wheels were for traction on snow.

OK, let's do the specifics first. Couldn't find any A55s or A60s although I don't doubt there's some here. It's overwhelming trying to see everything! 

Early Austins, and a Farina A40 showing us its boot.
