NEC Classic Car Show

Don't forget to come along to visit the Club stand at the NEC next weekend (13th - 15th November).

Should be a good selection of cars (probably a Smith Special, 600 Multipla, 125, 132, 127 Sport, and Strada 130 Abarth), and it's always good to see members up there. It does make all the difference - if you want to bring doughnuts, sweets, beer, etc, you'll get an even warmer welcome!!

Regards, Gavin.

Re: NEC Classic Car Show

According to the NEC website our stand number is 4C48 - I assume that means it's hall 4??!

Are you staying for the weekend Stiggy?

Great photos Jeni .It was a great weekend and as you say great to see everyone.

I think Neil got the mix of cars just right with all of us talking to people for most of the weekend .It just proves what a great following our Fiats have.

Steves Smiths Special was a show stopper just watching peoples faces when thay saw it for the first time was fantastic

Heres the 127, for some reason I never did get a pic of the 132 :-( think it because it was nesting amongst the FMC signs.

Hi Ben,
