NEC Resto Show 2026

Post by SammyJx »

NEC Restoration Show 2026 – We’re Back in Hall 4!

We’re excited to confirm that we’ll be exhibiting at the NEC Restoration Show 2026, taking place:

📅 Friday 20th March 2026 – Sunday 22nd March 2026
📍 NEC, Birmingham – Hall 4


This year we’ve secured a huge stand measuring 12m x 7m, and yes… you read that right — we’re hoping to fit FOUR cars on it! 🚗🚗🚗🚗

It’s shaping up to be one of our biggest and most exciting displays yet, with plenty to catch the eye of visitors and really draw people in as they walk around the show. As always, this event kicks off our car show calendar in true style.

Help Wanted – Free Entry Available!

As usual, we’d love our members to get involved and help man the stand. In return, you’ll get free entrance for the day you help, plus the chance to enjoy the show during breaks away from the stand.

It’s a great way to:
    Support the club
      Chat with fellow enthusiasts
        Meet the public
          And still have time to explore the show yourself

          👉 Please reply to this post if you can help out, and let us know which day(s) you’re available.

          More details to follow, but get the dates in your diary — this one’s going to be a busy and exciting start to the 2026 season!

          Hoping to attend on the Friday but can't confirm yet.
          Happy to do some time on the stand if needed, do you need people to help with set up or dismantling the stand as well?

          Don't forget to order your tickets for the Restoration Show. The club benefits from any tickets sold using our unique discount code, but only up to this Thursday, 26th February. You can still use the code after that date, but the club doesn't derive any benefit from them.

          Straightforward job aslong as the crankshaft pullley bolt and other bolts come loose or dont snap my advise would be to undo first before the show 😉
