NEC Birmingham March 2025

Again this year GTOUK has a stand at The Practical Classic Car Show.
NEC Birmingham Friday 21st March - Sunday 24th March 2025.

Details here:-

This is an indoor event and we have been allocated a stand for 5 cars to display, this can be any model, condition or even work in progress.

With limited spaces, priority will be given to, firstly, members who have not displayed before, followed by those who did not attend last year, then others if space allows.

Details for displaying cars:-

Drop off (set-up) is Thursday where your car will stay until Sunday when the show ends at approximately 5pm.

You will be required to attend with your car for the 3 day show.

Full FREE admission for you for the 3 days plus FREE admission for a +1 with you.

Accommodation - many hotels in the area from budget to luxury, hotel websites to follow.

We would also like to encourage members to support the club as Day Visitors, Club discounted tickets will be available when I get the code.

Please reply if you would like to display your car, as stated above we only have space for 5 cars.

We are setting a deadline of 1st February to request a stand space, which allows the Club enough time to carry out the behind the scenes organisation required.

Would have loved to participate but the wife has tickets that weekend for a theatre show and I doubt my white GTO project would progress much between now and then to be back onto its wheels. Count me in for 2026 though - it should be fully mobile by then but still maybe unfinished.

It’d be nice to see a selection of Mk1, Mk2/3 and 99 kitted cars on the stand in various colours. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday as a visitor though!

I could be interested in this with the Spyder as i doubt i’ll be doing anything to it around this time. I’d have to trailer it down tho as its still pretty much a shell.
