Restoration Show 20-22 March - Car Needed!

Post by rbgosling »

Hi all,

I have 3 cars already lined up for the Restoration Show, but the 4th I had in mind has not worked out. So, we have a space, and need a car to fill it!

The following would be preferable, but with a month to go I'll consider anyone who can bring something:
  • An Eclat (because we already have a couple of Excels and an Elite);
  • Something that will be worked on, in some way, over the weekend - not essential, as both Excels will be seeing action, but the more activity the better;
  • A car that hasn't been to the NEC before, or at least, recently.
You'll need to bring the car over on Thursday 19th March, and leave it there until 6:00pm-ish on Sunday 22nd. You'll get free entry to the show every day, you'll be expected to spend a fair chunk of time on our stand talking to visitors / working on your car, but there will be plenty of opportunity to explore the rest of the show too.

Reply here, or PM me, happy to answer any questions you might have...

I'm not buying an Eclat just for the show!

Am I?

Many thanks to those that offered a car for the show. I've now got a nice Eclat coming along, so all 3 4-seaters are represented.
