I do Facebook, but I'm trying to do less of it. I went to one Motor Show in the mid-80s and took some (awful) photos, I don't mind posting them here when I get a chance to scan them, if that's any good.

I'm not having a go at you GT4ME, but personally I'd rather you post the photos here and point Faceache users to it rather than the other way around...more users/traffic keeps this wonderful place alive...and Zuckerberg has got enough money already.

I'd love to see them regardless of the quality. Please let me know if your happy for me to share them on the Facebook page also.

Happy to post here also but was hoping it might take off with lots of others sharing photos.

Here's some of mine from (I think) 1988 at the NEC. Be kind - I was 15 and armed only with an Olympus XA2 and some 400 ASA film. Please don't harvest these images and put them on Facebook though. I love this community, and what Zuckerberg and his cronies have done to gut the internet for their own monetary gains makes my skin creep. The tech: And on to the pictures that actually came out I think I have more but my neg-scanner is a) not too great and b) A pain to set up. Maybe if I get enough interest I'll find the others from that year. Sweet Citröen AX racecar Prop from that year's Vauxhall Cavalier 'Car of the Future' ad campaign Awesome Peugeot 'OXIA' concept. On to the Porkas: 944 Ragtop. Noice. 1st-gen Carrera 4 The mighty, indomitable 959, shown this year as production not concept. Caterham, Could have been taken yesterday, or in 1965 haha Vantage Volante.... "OK Boomer!" Lagonda. For some unknown reason I loved these. It's like the 80s version of the Tesla Cybertruck. Thanks William Lyons!

This takes me back. I went to the NEC every year from '80 to '88 with my dad and even managed Earls Court in '87 to see the Stevens Esprit whilst on a school trip. I still recall my dad surprising me with the tickets in '80 (I was 9). I blew my spends on a Corgi model of the brand new Mk3 Escort whilst there.
We had a works outing sometime in the mid-90s. As I recall, it was the Jaguar X300 launch so '94?
Sadly I have not one single photograph.
