Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Next Week's NEC Classic Car Show

If anyone is off to next Week's NEC Classic Car show, make sure you pop by the MSCC stand and say hi. I'll be there at some point on each of the 3 days on the stand.

Really excited to have the MOG on the stand for the first time and I'm currently busy leather cleaning and trying to do all those little jobs I've been putting off the last few years, like polishing tarnished dash switches which isn't the easiest to do in the late October gloom and poor evening garage light.

7 more sleeps!

Anyone going?

Well it’s been a super couple of days
Drove the Mog down yesterday. Set off from home near Chorley at 7:20am, got to the NEC at 9:50am
I was fearing that finding the right hall and door and driving the Morgan into the hall for the set up day would be fraught with problems but it was an absolute breeze. The stewards were fantastic, no queues and really well signposted. Drove straight in and straight on to where the MSCC stand was to be formed

Spent a couple of hours or so chatting with the other Morgan owners who turned up over the course of the morning and then got down to cleaning the Mog ready for display

The journey down was a bit mucky, drizzle all morning so had to give it a complete spruce up using detailer and various polishes. I came well prepared with knee pads (vital), rubber gloves and lots of cloths

The organisation at the NEC is quite remarkable. At 10 o clock I was in an empty bare hanger, by the time I left at about 5pm it was looking like a proper exhibition, with walkway carpets and erect stands and lots of gleaming cars

Today was spent all day meeting loads of fellow Morgan owners who came on to the stand as well as classic car enthusiasts who just wanted to chat and have a look. Lots of really nice comments about my Morgan and everyone else’s on the stand which is nice. I bought Martyn Webb’s new book and got him to sign it. I’ll get Charles’ book and ask him to do the same tomorrow

I’m now absolutely knackered so back at the hotel and I’m so tired I’ve ordered room service as I don’t have the energy to go out to eat

Looking forward to tomorrow

Some photos from today

Hi all, Ill be there with my +4 Clubsport - MO6 4 MOG on the Dream Rides stand in Hall 5, Friday and Saturday, come and say Hi, better still take a "Dream Ride" Its all for Children's Charities.

Stars of the show!

The shows theme was ‘Hall of Fame’ so really great to have two of the most famous Mogs on the stand

A tall elderly gentleman leaning on a walking stick came onto the stand and we got into conversation, after quite some time exchanging pleasantries and talking about the show, I asked him if he had a connection with Morgans and he said yes I raced TOK!

He was the well known racing driver Brian Kendall and he raced TOK in 66 in the 500 Brands Hatch GT

Absolutely fascinating to find out about peoples backgrounds

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of diplaying my Morgan on the stand this year and also meeting loads of fellow Morganeers over the period of the 4 days. I was absolutely knackered by the end of each day but absolutely loved it
