Ever wondered what it’s like to show a car at one of the NEC’s biggest classic car shows?
I was chuffed to be asked by the XR Owners Club to put my Ford Sierra XR4x4 on the stand at the Practical Classics: Classic Car & Restoration Show in March 2024, it is fair to say I jumped at the chance.
In this video I feature preparing and taking my Sierra into the NEC, giving you a behind the scenes taste of what it’s like to take a car into the NEC, plus I share some of the highlights of this year’s show. This is a video of me experiencing all of this for the very first time; three days spending time with my beloved XR4x4, surrounded by a fantastic selection of classic cars with my XR Owners Club buddies, and chatting with lot of car enthusiasts and Channel subscribers… go on, twist my arm! 😂
