This year sees the 50th Anniversary for the Eclat, with the show offering the ideal platform for us to promote this occasion in the manner it deserves. We have a stand that should accommodate 4 cars, 5 at a push, so my thoughts are ideally we should aim for an early 520, a production S1, and a Riviera S2 plus a wild card - thoughts appreciated. We could go with an Esprit as this model is also being considered to be in it's 50th year, but technically Sales didn't commence until 76, so maybe "50th Esprit" can be our prime focus for 2026 show.
If you would like to present your car on our stand, or would like to man the stand on any of the days, please PM or email me, or reply to this post. Show cars need to arrive at the NEC on Thursday 6th before mid afternoon and must be collected latest the following Monday, but normal practice is for the owner to be on the stand on Sunday, hence able to drive away that evening after the show closes. Free show passes will be available for all days for anyone showing their car.
If you are just planning to visit the show, don't forget you can get a £4 discount on Adult tickets (£2 on family tickets) using our dedicated club discount code ( CCCNOV5784). I'd encourage you to use the club code in preference to other codes you may find as it benefits The Grand Tourers and means we get certain benefits from the NEC show organisers.
See you there.
