Magnificent Motors Show

Post by harryjoe » Sun May 02, 2010 10:25 am

Hi all.

Every year Eastbourne holds a Magnificent Motors Show on it's seafront, and it's usually 1st weekend in May, yesterday i went for a stroll along the prom to see what there was on show yhis year!
Well as you can judge from the following pics, that there was all the usual marques there , but the only french vehicle there was a Renault Xtra Van !!! :o :o , ..
This show is quite a large turn out, and speaking to the peoples in the control tent , they do come from far and wide !! to show there vehicles off, you have to register with them to show off you prized vehicle , so they know how many are coming etc etc,
There is now camping on site , but there is camp sites within 2 miles of the Western Lawns,or quite cheap hotels on the seafront over lokking the site, but the site is managed 24 hrs by a flock off security guards, so no worries there !!
Anyway for next year would any of you here or on FCF ( where i will post it too ), be interested in showing some Citroens ther next year ??? out of proberbly 200 exhibits, and only one French Van there, ! i think we need to hit them with a few classic French examples !
Il'l stick some pic's on now , it really is a good two days, i was gunna take the Xm up , but missed the booking date by 2 days :x :x :x

First tme I have seen an original Morris Minor with the headlights in the grill for a long time. We used to have an excellent show down here in Yeovil until a few years ago, it just sort of petered out.

I was going to show it, but i missed the deadline for entries by 1 day , so i was a bit pissed off , to say the least. :roll:

But i will be there next year for sure, ;)

Yes it's a good turn out , but would be good to see some Citroens there next year as well,
Lets add a little querkyness to the show :lol:
