Can I be the first to congratulate Jon, Jeremy & Phil for doing a first-class job of displaying their ME`s & I was very impressed with Jon`s scale model of an ME tub & subframe, what a piece of art!
   
   Well done chaps, I hope you`ve paved the way for a full on multi-model AC presence next year!

The display was a credit to all involved - well done!

I'd like to join the others and add my congratulations and thanks too to all involved  with the ACOC stand at the Classic Motor Show - a superb and select gathering of the some of the best 3000 MEs in the country. The display was hugely popular. Tim

Mentioned in despatches. OCTANE MAGAZINE`s online feature has a photo of the ME display, and I can see Phil telling Dad & Myself about his car & ME history in the back of this shot!
   
   
   
   Any chance of a photo of Jon`s chassis model anyone? I meant to go back & photograph the stand but ran out of time! [:(]

Nice pic of 113.
   
   Tony and I were discussing throttle cable brackets!

Thanks, Jon, that's a work of art!!

I'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those ACOC members who visited the stand and shared our enthusiasm in wanting to display their AC models in the future.
   
   Without doubt, a very positive outcome for the club and the optimism for a larger stand area for next year.

It was great to chat to you Phil, and if you managed to maintain the level of enthusiasm you showed on Friday morning for the whole weekend, I`ll bet you`ve only just recovered!
   (p.s., Did you see the Trident display? Road car, race car & 60`s variants on show!)

Nik, I only managed an hour to have a wander over all the 4 days we were up at the NEC!
   We had a great response from current young people who thought the ME design was a timeless classic. Our enthusiasm was proportional to that received about the three MEs on display.
   
   Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the Trident display. Ironically, one of the Trident club members sold his ME this year - it's now been sold to a guy in the USA. His 15 year old son was caught trying out the ME for size at 02.00am - only hours after the car was delivered!!!  It's a bit of an understatement that the owner's son totally loves the AC!!

A big thank you to Tony, Jeremy and all who helped make the AC presence at the NEC happen. The cars looked wonderful, and it made a nice change for the 3000 MEs to take centre stage. The Club is lucky to have so many diverse AC models, and such enthusiastic members who are prepared to give their valuable time. Let this be the start of many more AC displays at future shows and events. Well done and thanks, Andy.

I was wondering if there's an AC presence this year (2013) (15th-17th)?
   
   Also is there any club booking discount codes?
