    Autosport show NEC

    I would like to display my Escort at the Autosport show this year and wondered if anyone knew of a company that required a race car for their stand?

    Cheers

    It's very very difficult mate, The stands cost a fortune.

    My car will be there on the SBD motorport stand, To celebrate SBD Motorsport's 20th Anniversary (1992-2012) we are having our own stand at the Autosport International Show 2012, Hall 8, Stand 8315. Matt Downer's Escort Mk2 will be on the stand along with SBD Vauxhall, Duratec & Hayabusa display engines.
    Come & see us between 12th - 15th January 2012.


    Come and say hello, I will be there Thursday and Sunday

    good luck mate, space is so expensive you dont have much chance,

    my motorclub looked into it it was going to cost us a grand just to get a car on display, let alone travel costs etc

    Just got back. Not a bad show. The live show was a big disappointment tho.

    Hip Flask it is then ...

    At previous shows there did seem to be a price increase in some bars, Think it was Andy or Dave that got stung.. same round.. something like a tenner more .

    So if anyone finds a pubprice bar.. add it to here
