They don't want us this year. We are still on the reserve list along with the Renault classic car club. Alison judge the car club Organiser phoned me on Friday to say it was because feedback from the last show was they needed more restaurant and seating space and less cars. Sounds a bit odd for a car show and the restaurant next to us last year was hardly busy. Hotels are now ££ and will likely continue to rise until the end of July when we find out if we have space.

RCCC are mightily annoyed because they had all booked their hotel rooms on a non refundable basis.

more like they will need to use more than 1 hall and don't have enough cars to fill the next one so they've cut out the extra call mr wheeler dealer and ask him to pull some strings for you..... if you put the A310 forward to be on the stand it may have some influence........only a thought

Dissapointing,
as I intended to come along and hopefully meet some of you and pick your brains a little, appears 80's cars still do not have full recognition even rare ones, perhaps I need to transfer the walnut dash from my Stag to give the GTa the right patina.

http://www.necclassicmotorshow.com/show-features/car-clubs

Renault Owners Club, and Club Alpine Renault are listed for this year.

I note CAR are in the "European" hall and not the "Prestige" hall...speaks volumes about the status of Alpine as a brand. ( by contrast I think lotus made it to the Prestige hall).

(At carfest north we were excluded from the parade lap too..on the basis of noise..but the deloreans and lotuses went out...we were left licking our wounds with the Nissan club)...

We need a brand consultant...we need the services of Siobhan Sharpe

/\ /\ Didn't she used to go out with Twiggy (Royal Family not sixties super model)?

Yes the old Renault Badge seems to go against us time and time again.

You haven't p$ssed anyone off at the NEC have you Steve? Left an oil slick or forgot to pay the bill? Just asking like.
