The Rolls Royce Wraith as well I think it was called a bargain at £140000 for a brand new Roller. This must be the base model!

I'd have to agree with you on that. Went back for a second look at it and just loved everything about it. Sadly, my wife pointed out that it wouldn't fit in our car port, so we went home in her Hyundai and left it for another buyer .



Thanks Les, it was great to finally meet you after reading all your posts . Hope you have a safe journey home. Edit: Nora (my wife) has just said to add she hopes all is well with Murphy when you finally get home

Actually I just looked back through my pictures and the Rolls Royce Wraith must have been secondhand at £140,000! It just said introduced in 2013 but don't know if it means that particular car was from that year but that was the price on the description card.

They're fantastic photos Cliff love the two pics of mine just saved them on my phone if thats ok

Myself and deanna are safely back home in essex. Arrived at 9:30pm so got back in good time.

We throughly enjoyed this weekend with fantastic company, its been a real good laugh. We were well looked after and catered for. , Its actually quite hard work being on your feet all day for 3 days, with early starts and late finishes, constantly on guard watching out for those finger prints. But it is very rewarding. Displaying my typhoon at the NEC is something I've wanted to do since i visited durin the 2015 show, it felt like a huge privilege to be displaying the car at the event representing the club.

Thank you again for having us on the club stand

I would just like to say a very big thank you to the stalwart souls who tirelessly got up early every morning over the three days to be on our stand bright and breezy to greet folk. It looks quite free and easy in the pictures you see, but it takes a lot of effort and energy to make the show stand what it is which is reflected in the reactions and positive comments we get from our visitors.

To the club members who supplied their pride and joy’s for display we are indebted to you, for without you we would have no stand, for the club team who travelled from far and wide to be here including Scotland in a couple of cases, the effort is appreciated. And of course a special thank you to every member both old and new including those that joined up at the show, who sought us out in our own little corner of this huge show, we salute you.

From us to you, thanks a million.

I was there on Friday - the cars looked great- I had hoped to say hello to Trikey and Debs but there was no sign of them when I passed by the stand.

No, had to cancel at the Eleventh hour as their dog had cut its paw and needed a vet appointment over the weekend.
