We have had paperwork from Grosvenor shows asking whether we would like our usual stand 54F at the show. I have said yes but over the coming months it would be nice to know as usual who plans on coming.
Are you attending?
Yes / No?
Sunday?
Monday?
Both?
With Kitcar?
Camping?
This is THE kitcar show and anyone that has never attended will find it very interesting. See link http://www.nationalkitcarshow.co.uk/ (http://www.nationalkitcarshow.co.uk/)
Log in to see club stand map attachment.

Assuming the car stays in one piece, me and Jan will be there for the 2 days, probably staying in a B&B as Jan is not cut out for camping due to her arthritis :(
Unless the weather is really awful, I'll be there both days in the kit car, staying in a local B&B.
I will be there. Prob just sunday unless weather is better for the monday. :)
I'll be there again with the Kit (as long as the weather dry) probably just Sunday.
Yes will be great to chill out with you guys!
Both days
With Kitcar? no =( unless i can finish it in time.

Better get a crack on then chap :D ;)
Would love to! but don't think it would be possible i might be able to bring it up on a trailer =P
But hay i will do my best to get it finished in 4 months.
Will be there one day, not sure which yet, probably bring Charlie (son) along too.
Would love to go as I've not made it yet as it falls on my birthday weekend and as the Head Office is not that much into cars and we always try to go out as a family, I shalln't be there but to everyone who does make it Have a great time. :D
Will be up one of the days. No kitcar :(
Should be there, it's the wife's birthday weekend so some negotiation required first!

Is that a date? :D Toying with it at the moment, but can't justify 2 cars let alone 3 ;)
I will be there on one of the days depending on the weather.
Ratbag won't be ready for stoneleigh but I would still like to go. So I thought I could go up in my van and will have room for anyone who needs a ride up. Also could transport bulky items to and from the event if anyone will be buying goodies there.
Any thoughts anyone?
Planning to be there Sunday, hope to meet a few members and look for the next build!
Sorry guys , don't think im gunna make it this year now as somethings come up at work grrrrrr proper disappointed but hey ho :-(
See you guys up there, I will pop over for a visit.
I am going up on Saturday lunch time and camping and leaving late Sunday afternoon.
See ya. Dixie

gonna leave them all to you Ken, giving it a miss this year, have fun :P
I've a pass for Monday from SWMBO; can I park on the stand or is it general melee for me?
I'm heading up the A350 and then the Fosse way if anyone wants a (small) convoy?
Griff
Sorry guys I'm going to give this one a miss, sorry.
Hi Everyone,
Just about to leave for Stoneleigh. Its the first year that Im driving my own Kit car!!!! ;) And it appears that Bri and I are the only members going in the convoy :( Shame!!
Oh well. I expect to see at least a few of you up there :P
Better get going!!!!!! Sun is out Yay.
Will put some pics up when return. I will rephrase that Bri will put some up lol.
I wish I was going but can't make it now :'( I'm hoping to take the westy out for at least afew hours today & tomorrow if I get a chance.
I hope you do get a good turn out in the end. :)
Well what a great day out! Sunshine and a lot of interesting cars to see. Charlie really enjoyed his day, especially the Westfield drift experience. Great to see Anna's car finished and looking rather splendid. Good to meet the "northern" section of the BKCC I think we nearly outnumbered the Bristol chapter. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow wherever you are, see you soon!
Really miffed we are missing it this year, but need to sort the damn brakes out before the summer has come and gone :(
Hope everyone that goes has a great time ;)
Really good day, nice weather too.
I was a bit sad not being able to take ratbag, but she's a bit too scruffy a the moment.
Mind you there was someone driving monstrosity that resembled a mobile scrapyard, never seen anything like it! But hey they were having fun , so what.
I managed to find my elusive type 9 gearbox bolts at last and a nice westy V8 nosecone as well!
Had to leave earlier than I wanted as I had arranged to collect a westy boot box from Witney, and a set of wings from Devizes, and had to get back for my dog. Hadn't realised I could have taken him!
Overall I'm a bit knackered, went to Plymouth on saturday to get my stainless manifold. Nice roast dinner today and reeeelaaaaaxxx. :)
Hi Benchmark, glad to hear you had a successful shopping trip. You seemed determined to get that nose cone! Hopefully next time we meet you will be in you car. Off to Castle Combe to watch some racing!
Great to see everyone yesterday. I enjoyed having a look around the show and there were many interesting cars to see. I managed not to buy anything which was good but I did make the mistake of starting a conversation with the guys at Northampton Motorsport.
I enjoyed the drive up early in the morning on the quiet roads. Busier on the way home. Early start and 3.5 hours in a car with no windscreen meant I nearly fell asleep in my pint down the pub in the evening. :D Great day though.
Best weather yet at the show and had a great time, lots of new goodies for the cars, shame we had such a poor showing this year on our pitch with only 6 cars on the club stand and 4 today! I know a few other car were on their other clubs stands ::) But even our pitch was the next plot up the road this year, so slightly closer to the rest of the clubs.

Nice pics Bri. I'm wondering if other club stands were down on attendance this year?
according to some guys on the Locostbuilders forum, it was a fair bit quieter than recent years. Down on club stands, manufacturer's stands and trade stands too.
Yes it was a quieter this year all round, Clubs and manufacturers, though the numbers walking around seemed about the same.

Nice pics, the last one of the hardtop version is interesting.
There is a unbuilt full kit car on ebay that is very similar, currently at £2550
Item number:
230972709885
I made the mistake of asking about the hardtop. At present it is only available for a Dax Rush but depending on interest from the show they may consider other big volume cars such as Caterham & Westfield. And the price is.................. drum roll!!!
£3,900 with hinged panels and doors, £3600 with no hinged panels in roof. Great idea but not in my Tiger budget I am afraid.
crazy price!! how to kill a good product!! glad you all had a great time only wish I could of been there :-(
