2018 Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show, with Discovery. (NEC)

Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th March 2018, at the NEC, Birmingham.

We have been granted a stand in Hall 5, size 6.5 x 8.5m.

I have an outline plan involving an R8 420 saloon needing paint and interior work and an R3 214 to be a credit to its long-term owner :D

We will be needing one more car to work on (I have had to book for three cars, in order to get enough free show passes to make it all work for us), so suggestions will be welcomed. Perhaps something that needs a full suspension and brake upgrade?
We will also put an announcement in the next edition of 'The Viking', to give our non-forum members a chance to get involved.

There's been a black 216 for sale recently, full leather, air con etc. It's a H reg and a rag bag of a car. A potential candidate but it's up in Scotland I think. Graham (gbs100) is familiar with it I believe.

Has the Tourer actually got HGF or are you just wanting to do it to be on the safe side?

What if we have the 3rd as an exhibit car, i.e one thats gone from wreck to rich, could do with doing my headlining on my 220 at some point. whatever we have will be a good event.
