NEC Classic Car Show 2013 pics - updated pics added 8/12/13

Post by wurlycorner » Sun Dec 01, 2013 5:36 pm

Thought some of you would be interested in seeing these.

The show is massive these days, much bigger than last time I went a good few years ago. I only got to see about half of it properly and didn't get to look round the autojumble at all and just glanced past the auction area. Planning on doing 2 days there next year with a night out in Brum on the Saturday night :D

VERY limited on jap stuff unfortunately, but still lots of good stuff to look at.

Apologies, some of the pics are jobby quality but the lighting in there is absolutely terrible, really dim and crap yellow tinge so it's difficult to take any decent pics with a phone or camera, plus loads of people so difficult to get far enough back to get a clear shot of the cars.

Here's the first load, taken with my phone and in no particular order.

Impressive car, truly awful colour.

Image
So there probably was an H22 at the show :rock: Remember watching these race :D

Nice velour in this Princess 8-) and look, an 'economy' meter!
Image
Image

Love these. Gorgeous!
Image
Image

Fast Vauxhalls
Image
Image

Delorean Owners Club had a well cool and professional stand. This vinyl poster was massive and really well put together.
Image
Possibly the coolest car ever built of course, thanks to a certain film.
Image
Image

This was an interesting beast... No, your eyes aren't decieving you, that's a Cosworth lump and yes it is installed at an angle for some reason! :huh:
Image
Image
Image
Image

Liked this a lot, too:
Image
Image
Image

Engine in an ancient and rare british amphibious army vehicle (that I've forgotten the name of :facepalm: )
Image
And a sectioned version of it - original training aid created by army apprentices.
Image

Lotus goodness
Image
Image
Image
This stand smelt absolutely fantastic, thanks to oil and petrol leaks galore :lol:

Also lotus mucho fun goodness 8-)

Image
Image

Gas turbine-electric powered MG-F. Interesting, but a hell of a lot of work for I'm not sure much gain?
Image
Custom made control electronics for the motors.
Image
Image
Batteries an' stuff in the front

:facepalm: forgotten what this was. It's an engine of some description! :lol:
Image

Quite like Stags
Image
Image
Image

A very rare beast! And I like it... V8 supercharged MG monster :twisted:
Image
Image
Another rare MG V8 beast;
Image
Image
Image

Superchared from a different era
Image

Concept car, completely forgotten what though :roll: But thought it was 8-)
EDIT: Remembered, now, it was a TVR concept that was Peter Wheeler's personal car for a couple of years. It was rescued from the back lot in Blackpool after they went under, in a bad state and was restored. Lovely car.

EDIT 2: http://www.tvrwhiteelephant.co.uk/conte ... chive.html

Will get some more up later when I can be arsed to download the camera. There are a couple of jap things on there. :shock:

The Accord didnt use the H22 since Touring cars were 2.0 class. But they used a VTEC F20 engine.

Some sweet rare cars there.
