Default NEC Classic Car Show 2023

Not got the V70R on a stand this year at the show, but for anyone that is going this weekend, I have my Lotus Carlton and my Velocette Venom on the Rolls-Royce Employee Motor Club stand, hall 3A, stand 495.
Pop by and say hello, if only because we have some sweets to give away and a Snap-On tool chest, Snap-On torque wrenches and a Snap-On hammer to win (50% of profit goes to the Air Ambulance).

Wow, I'd forgotten that you had the Carlton, I'd have loved to have seen that but sadly I can't make the show this year due to family commitments. Maybe next year...

Enjoy the show, I've seen a few pics on FB and it looks like its going to be a good show.

Photo from the stand. You can just see the Snap-On tool chest and Torque Wrenches that can be won in the charity raffle...

And may as well put the Velocette picture up to. It's been at the back of my workshop for 15+ years. We got it cleaned up and rebuilt the carb during the show. Hopefully have it running before Christmas and ready to ride again when the better weather arrives next year.
