I've now had an email from the organiser asking for car details so the ticket purchase procedure seems to be working.

They sent my ticket by e mail.

Peter - I don't know why they are asking you for car details. I sent all that to them and they replied thanking me so I know they have received them,
Cheers, Phil

What time are you guys planning on getting there? Do we have to arrive early to get the cars on display?

I have started to take fish oil because my memory is on the way out. The gent who I thinks name was Mike was a friend of Tanz's and a Regular at the first Monday Staffordshire meet. Real nice bloke with a really nice genuine car.

BTW looking at your signature..my lasting memory of anything Triumph was a ride in a work colleagues Herald Vitesse during 1974 which had massive scuttle shake around 60 mph ... :shock: so it's a period feature I think ..enjoy! :D

Great to meet everyone and have a 'new' car on display. Good luck finishing off the rebuild Ian - paint job looks great. The Elite belongs to John who is a member off Club Lotus Staffs and is willing to show his car at the NEC. He is a bit worried about his oxidised wheels but intends to polish them up a bit soon.
