RESTORING CLASSIC CARS - FANS HEAD WEST!

Classic car fans from all over the country will be making tracks to the Bath and West Showground, Shepton Mallet, Somerset when The Footman James Autojumble, Automart and Restoration Show takes place on Sunday 13th November 2005.

The Organisers, Bristol based Nationwide Exhibitions (UK) Ltd, expect thousands of classic car enthusiasts and general motoring fans to attend the event. Clubs will be exhibiting classic vehicles covering restoration themes with some of the displays and demonstrations scheduled to include: -

Every marque has troublesome restoration jobs when restoring and the show will particularly focus on these thereby helping enthusiasts via live demonstrations.

Visitors will also be able to pick up tips and advice, hunt out long lost parts and maybe find a bargain or two.

There will be a large, top quality Autojumble and an Automart with cars for sale covering our illustrious motoring heritage.
