Great day out with my boy today at nec
Some absolutely fantastic cars there and got to meet a few pals I haven’t seen for a while , and spent far too much on the auto finesse stand!

Thanks for sharing, a fantastic array of seemingly immaculate vehicles.

The Taunus and the SM in particular are tickling my giblets.

Quality of exhibits seem to improve year on year - the Amazon and Super Minx Estate would certainly have a place in my modest fantasy garage.

Also, great pics

I'll echo the great pics sentiment, the brown/woody sandwiched between the alfasud pictures looks tasty.

I'm disappointed now, my dad and his mate are down today and invited me but I didn't bother as last time I went it was all boring standard flat cap stuff. Looks like a great selection of modified stuff.

Thanks for the great pics, Dan.

What is the white thing on whitewalls in the background? I've tried a DVLA check on the reg, but keeps coming up with details not found.

Personal faves are the Woody - shame it's a handbag snatcher though - and the Cosworth Cob is very impressive too. But I'd be worried about starting it up, let alone taking it out on the road.

Good info midland performance! I didn’t have a clue
And yes it was without doubt a fantastic day
Perhaps it was the COVID thing but now everyone is back people were just courteous and very friendly
The staff at the nec were brilliant and very helpful and

I Had a chat with a few of them guarding the fire exits a hard job on your feet all day
Thanks to the organisers great show

What's "purse snatcher" mean? I could only find obvious or rude definitions online, nothing that I could apply to a car!

LHD car in a RHD world.

And possibly vice versa.

So you can mean out and grab an old lady's handbag?

That is preferable to some internet definitions!!!

Great set of pics, and thanks for sharing Mercdan68 that Bentley pick up, I'd probably not want it myself, but what a great job.

Combi would mean estate or wagon.
So the one in the pic is the sedan.

Here is the combi:

Yes, you’re right. I actually edited my post to add the combi bit at the end as I’d convinced myself it was an estate in the time between looking at the photo and posting, so had to look back at the picture now to see that it wasn’t!

I think it’s because the front of these look like a completely different style of car to the rear, on both the saloon and estate versions.

Lots of lovely, lovely things to look at.
Thanks for taking and posting the pics, a great job as usual.
