1983 Earls Court Motor Show

[Maestro_2023]

Does anyone know if there 's anywhere online I can find footage from 1983 Earls Court Motor Show and/or photos of the exhibits at this show?
I know both BBC and Thames TV covered it, but can't find anything online

Many thanks

There's a group on Facebook of old motor show photos, and I think he published a book of them. There was a thread on here too, I think. Not sure if it covered 1983, I know I sent a couple from one of the early NEC shows.

ETA: This was the thread: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=18...

And there seems to be a web site too: https://motorshowphotos.co.uk/

There was no Earls Court Motor Show in 1983.........it moved to NEC in 1978.

The NEC shows were every other year though, so there was a show at NEC in '82 and '84.

I think the '83 Earls Court show you are asking about was one of the much smaller Motor Fairs that used to be held there in the alternate years with the proper full on SMMT International Motor Show at NEC.
