This weekend I headed over to the NEC in Birmingham for the big annual Classic Car Show. Not only was the NEC a mere 1/2 hour drive from my place, but there was also the promise of a hang out with the boys and girls from Retro Ford. We have a little history, so it’s always good to catch up!
The show was pretty cool, though I didn’t spend long walking round and taking pics; mainly because I was hanging around on the stand talking crap or catching up with people!
I have seriously been lusting after ‘Rods recently…anyone got a ’29 Model A knocking about?
This K12 was a demo car for a Lotus specialist..no, really. It was running a 300 bhp step-cam motor out of a Sunbeam ! Now may be a good time to out myself as someone who thinks these K12s have real potential.
Alpina 5 was one of my “cars of the show” needed decking until the crossmember fell off though.
I was also in love with this:
The MPH show was on at the same time and once in, you could walk through into the hall where it was all happening. It was cool to check out a few moderns.

Big thanks to the crew for keeping me fed, drunk and giving me somewhere to sleep!
