Classic car show - NEC

[Boxstercol]

Haven’t been for years but thinking of attending this year.

Has it been any good recently? Any issues with parking? Queues etc? Best day / time to go?

Cheers

Parking is fine, usually a bit of a walk to the entrance unless you wait for a shuttle.
Been a few time, it’s pretty big and plenty to see.

Went last year for the first time, enjoyed it. No issues with parking or queues

Go on the train if you can, I live in Northampton and a return ticket there is cheaper than the almost inhumane parking charge, just drive somewhere close by, take the train and don't line the pockets of the greedy sods.

I went last about 3 years ago. Good show with plenty to see. Tickets in advance are/ were cheaper than on the door. Parking isn't cheap, a bit of a faff, and last time took us nearly an hour to get out.

I always park at Birmingham Int train station

For the NEC we park at Rugby and catch the train in.

£14 to park in advance and a bit of fuel - cheaper than the train and parking at milton keynes for us 3

Same price for me, would rather give my money to a rail company than that merciless dump. No queues either, but I doubt I get a seat
