We went on the sunday . wasnt anywere near the show it used to be pre convid , i usualy go and buy a few goodys for the car and racing ect . didnt buy a single thing also seems like the hall that used to have the road going home built show cars / race cars has totally gone alot of big companys that are usualy there promoting there new products were nowere to be seen. Still enjoyed the day but its not a patch on what it was 5 years ago.
I was tempted to go this year, after not having gone for a fair few - only to see the entry ticket and parking price beforehand. By the time you had travelled up from Bristol area and all the associated cost - didn't seem worth it - and that seems to be what most people are saying.
I hadn't seen any advertising for the show this year. Didn't even know it was on until the weekend of the show. I'm out of the country, so couldn't get back for it. Looks like a bit of a poor effort this year. It used to be 7 or 8 halls.
£45 a ticket is steep but then to have to pay £20 parking on top? just ripping people off now, you can see what the visitor numbers are down. Surely the organisers should be encouraging attendance of both public and trade and not just seeing it as a moneymaker, which, is what it looks like it is
Same with us. I think this is why it’s died. Spoke to a well known piston brand I know who had a stand. An it was £3000 for the 4 days for basically a 7m x 4m space 🤯
Would explain why there was hardly any home build cars in there . wasn't even any of the racing pickup trucks ect . such a shame , it was a show I used to look forward to every year
The organisers have got greedy with costs for stand space is my thought. Shows at the NEC are getting worse due to costs, The Motorcycle show gets smaller in size every year . I last worked on a stand at Autosport about 5 years ago and it was a great day out then but since has been on a downward spiral
Sad to see once one of the very best shows decline.. last went in 2013 it was wall to wall packed with every conceivable motor, greed got on top same old story
Hi great video I was there came from Ireland very very Poor show for the price nothing there British Motorsport has no interest in this show ..prices are outrageous to see nothing Wake up the people who run this . ITS a MOTORSPORT .JOKE NOTHING TO DO WITH MOTORSPORT ....CLOSE IT DOWN THIS OUTRAGEOUS RIP OFF
Wow that's mad how that event changed within a day! I went on the Saturday and it was way better than what I just watched in your video, I would of been well gutted too if I went and it was like that (2.5 hour drive). It was my first time attending this event so I can't compare to previous years. I'll send you my link of the Saturday. ua-cam.com/video/9hM1FB7El3I/v-deo.htmlsi=ue_DJdgOEDHFsM24
I went on the Thursday and it was absolutely packed and all three halls were filled

Love these videos, you need to go to more car shows as your commentary is brilliant informative, funny and honest!
Thanks, will do!
Barrier? 555 BAT survived Colin; it ain’t scared of crowds 😂

Nice Navara-R 👀 🔥
65£ for that? The few gems aren't worth even half the price.
Great video as usual
I haven’t been in 5 years plus. It was an amazing show. 😢
Unbelievable. We shipped our LeMans Ferrari Hypercar all the way from Italy to attend this……looks like not many folk see it 🤦♂️
I havent been for last 2 shows mid 2000s was its peak i think
Would love to see the Nivara go
Been featured on a few youtube channels a while ago

V9 Engine, the only thing thats gonna beat that is the Gallo-24
2:05 that was just a TCR Racecar!
I went to the show 2 years ago and was done in an hour or so. Looks even more dead now!
Wish I could get some cars in there but it’s just so expensive

Its a Subaru didn't notice the boxter engine 😅🤔🤣
Far far too expensive to attend
Went with my bro' on Friday trade day, went to see the guys on 'Aim', got a bite & a brew, left very quickly, shame really.
