Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures we always have this problem at the NEC due to the lighting there, but will try to sort it out tomorrow.

We arrived at the NEC at 7.30am this morning to start cleaning the car before the doors opened.

Image

Right across the walkway from us was this sweet granny sleeper...............with a V8 fitted.
Image

One of the club stands that did catch my eye was the GTROC stand who had just 3 cars on the stand. Nothing more was needed and to make it even better the guys on the stand were gentlemen.

Image

The finish on this 32 was stunning.
Image

Oh, and they also had this little thing.






Image

After talking to the guy about the car, racing and Time Attack he suggested we take a couple of pics, who was we to refuse.

I wouldn't worry about the pics mate, keep 'em coming! Love that Granada........my Uncle had one years ago and I have always had a guilty lust for one :)

I'm pretty sure Dave Warrener is one of the guys you refer to on the GTROC stand........

Anyway, enjoy your time there and keep the updates coming.

Another stupidly long day but a good one. I left mine at 06.20 this morning to get the train to the NEC as Alan was coming up later with Wayne. I was one of the first exhibitors to arrive so it gave me a little time to snap some pics before cleaning the car again.

This is such a beauty.

Image

And I couldn't resist taking these again.

Even covered up this thing still looks impressive.

That's much more like it :thumbs: The 6R4 and 037 are especially impressive.
