Has anyone any experience of these events, and is it a way to shift stock before the 67 reg?
just do some research on similar-spec cars to the one you're going to look at - a similar Volvo Selekt car would be a good bargaining chip to introduce - and be prepared to haggle! If that's the car you want, and if they want to do a deal with you there and then, great. They all know if you walk away you may not come back, so PREPARE. At least you may well get some food and drink there as it's a "special event"....good luck, and hope you end up happy:-)
