The gang is still all here!

The NEC classic car show 2023 has been busier than ever.

Hot on the heels of their stand success over the the 1300E club we thought we would do a group photo.

No pets were harmed in the taking of this photo but rabbits were allowed 🤣.

Was a pleasure, and the best mix of cars for a while, all shapes, sizes and colours. Great fun and top people, thoroughly enjoyed it this year and the stand was the best it has ever looked imo. Top effort lads....😎

THANKS LADS

well I can honestly say that’s the best four days I’ve had for a while. A fantastic bunch of lads to be with oh and yes GARY ! The cars on the stand were a credit to everyone. I personally think the cars which drew the people were those of Marks orange escort estate and Gary’s monster V8, certainly good talking points from different ends of the spectrum on cars. Rays 1300E stand was unreal to be honest with the quality of cars attending and his effort on layout, even though we beat him on best stand….😜😜 Good to meet up with a few other forum members and put faces to names, thanks for popping in and introducing yourself. The Harrier may be be going onto pastures new with a few conversations I had and one it may never be seen on uk mainland again. But that’s life. We even had a tutorial and rebuild of a gearbox while we were there much to the amazement of a lot of the punters at the back of the stand to pass a bit of time on the occasional quiet time which wasn’t very often, never had so many willing apprentices 😳😳😳😳😳 Thanks again lads for a most enjoyable time 👍👍👍👍👍👍

As we found out according to the book reading know all’s they shouldn’t have one …….no mention of available options that you could get if you had the money you could have anything done whether it was on the option list or not. Think you know what my answer was to these people, for those who don’t 🖕🖕🖕

Maybe you can do a swap with the autographed Mike Brewer photo 🤣

Had a great day, lovely to meet and chat to you all. Let’s make it a better one next year! 
 

Your Harrier was very popular too, judging by the comments Col.

This was my old Harrier from circa 1993, it had a vinyl roof and a bloody awful sunroof, sadly this is the only photo I have of it. gutted I had to get rid of that car

Aye up @colr6 you could fit this to the Harrier and really piss off the book reading KIAs

This was a Foster Grant extra in my day complete with sideburns and a mustache (wait a minute I still have the mustache 😂)

to be fair they didn't have a front spoiler either. but at the end of the day just because some anorak says it shouldn't have one doesn't mean it can't.

2 of the guys in my office had Harriers, both silver, both with vinyl roofs that came with the cars afaik!
