Enfield Pageant Of Motoring. 23-25 May.

[Blib]

Anyone planning to attend the show this weekend and fancy meeting up? I usually pop along sometime. Apparently, this year's theme is a celebration of 50 years of the mini.

I'm quite open to attend any of the three days.

COpied to Herts forum

Just posted this subject a few mins before you on the Classis Cars and Yesterdays Heroes forum.
Are we expecting the typical Bank Holiday weather? Planning on going Sunday or Monday,Is Monday normally the busier day?

[Blib]

Oh, didnt know there WAS such a forum.



I've checked the weather on Metcheck (pretty reliable usually) they don't forecast any rain. Iirc, I went on the Saturday last year. It doesn't get overwhelmingly busy.

I'd suggst that the Sunday would be the best of the days.

When trying to find a thread you read a few days earlier you discover just how many forums it might have been moved to
I'll be heading over from E17 through Ponders End, you're already close to the venue I believe, so if you want to convoy about half a mile let me know

[Blib]

I think I'll be going along on the Monday as it's Monaco GP weekend, then indy 500 and then Nascar Coca Cola 600.....Super Sunday!

[mickk]

I may pop down on the Monday, whats the parking like and are there long queues to get in?

That A10 can be a pain sometimes

[Blib]

The parking is pretty good Mickk. Easily enough space for all comers.

[Chris71]

Might head over on Saturday, but I'm oop north the rest of the weekend.

[M-Ster]

never been to this but always wanted to go is it a good selection of cars or mainly classics??

[Blib]

Mainly classics. But you never know what's going to turn up.

[Graeme_Gman]

Maybe heading along to this with the other half tomorrow, so long as the weather holds out and I get the car washed! Probably late morning or early afternoon.

[Blib]

In the end I went on the Saturday. I enjoyed it. Well worth a visit.

[Chris71]

It was a good chance to take a look at some interesting machinery - glad I headed down. The only thing I would say is it was quite a lot of money. As an enthusiast I'm very happy to part with £9 as a donation to finance the Enfield and District Veteran Vehicle Society, but on a commercial level I'd have hoped to see a bit more going on.

Went on Sunday for the first time, bit dissappointing. Thought it would be larger. The only bargain we found was in the flea market auto-jumble. A friend I was with was after some plastic clips that screw to the rocker covers to hold the HT leads in place. As rare as rocking horse apparantly. We found a pair of rocker covers with them still on for £10.

Chris did you pay £9 to get in? Everyone else there only donated £7!

Not if you go on Saturday. I didn't understand it either, but you pay more...

I went on the Monday, took the '64 Thunderbird and displayed her on the Woodford Car Club stand.

I was disappointed at the turn out, some stalls had packed up and gone and some of the cars too.
