There were 10 manufacturers in the hall and a reasonable (but not massive) number of traders such as Europa Spares, Simtek, Intatrim etc.
The show was smaller than Stoneleigh but but for the current climate/market then I think it would be classed as a success.
On the Saturday at least there was a good number of club cars outside on the club stands to bolster what was on display inside.
Strat replicas were well represented on the Saturday with Guy in the hall with his Hawk HF & 5 cars outside on the IRCC stand. The only marque not present was the Corse.
A few more manufacturers in the hall would help as it is a good venue with a decent exhibition hall and the club area is nicely accessible from the hall.
Hopefully it will return next year and build on the solid foundation of this year.
