You’ll find me and Wen there......all excited with empty garage just waiting........🤓 List of possible classics Jays is thinking of ? Well.....Wen fancies an Austin 7 Ulster bodied bolide. I’m looking at a range of cars from TR3, 4, up to a Healey 100/4/6 and may be beyond that. Nice C Type replica might tickle my fancy. That’s the fun of the whole thing....the looking and researching.

They do nothing for me. Possibly a cycle winged Le Mans replica might.

We have an acquaintance with an alloy body Austin 7 Ulster.
Used regularly, never restored it is well patinated, or somewhat scruffy..depends on your perspective. Mechanically perfect, no oil leaks and amazingly quick, given its lack of power. The owner, who is a big chap, reckons that 2 up the weight almost doubles.....!!
Many of the Ulsters out there are modern replicas on a saloon chassis. Even they get up to £20k.

Austin 7 Nippy a consideration maybe given the inflated prices of Ulster's many of which are replica's

You havn`t heard this from me - but if you wait until the end of the show in the evening, have a coffee in the concourse, and walk slowly out to your car and faff around for a while the ticket people have gone home and the barriers are up as generally it is only exhibitors going out at that time and they have free parking tickets.  Nod’s as good as a wink to blind bat A good plan. Another idea is to park for free at Berkswell railway station (no traffic queues) and get a day return train ticket for the short distance to the NEC for about £2.40.
