Sorry about the delay in getting back to this.

Entry for display is €10, with proceeds going to St Vincent de Paul.I have been told there is over 200 cars already confirmed. Given the fact its completely indoors i would expect even more.

even if it is for charity, it should be a donation. Has there been a show there before? Arent these car parks dark, poorly ventilated kips?

Yep, and they also come with the added benefit of small spaces

joec26

true. Well Im sure the organisers will have the wit to allow 1.5 places per car?! Being stuck in an underground all day and not being able to leave your doors open would be more akin to a feeling of hell. Maybe a visit to the Autojumble at Toghers would make for a better day out, rain and all.

A great opportunity to take in two shows on the one day ,if you ask me ??

joec26

I was in the car park earlier this week, Its not dark at all, Unlike most your looking at a roof height of 2.7m and its fully lit

Just back from this, went with my son in his Mx5 (he's over from the UK on a visit).

Thought it was a good venue, dry (but cold!), bright, plenty of headroom (if I'd known I'd have taken the 101) and was well attended. No entry fee but lots of donation buckets so I was happy to chuck a tenner in.

Large selection of cars from real veterens over 100 years old,American muscle, several Rollers, Capri club, 60s-70s and modern classics; there was plenty of public wandering around as well.

A really well organised event.Well done to the organisers who could not have been more helpfull throughout the day.
This show can only go from strength to strength
Free indoor parking for visitors and free admission to the show.Just make a donation if you have it.
Looking forward to next year already.

sorry I missed it. Was it on the lowest floor of the three or the middle one? For normal day-to-day shopping operations, they leave the lowest one closed off and use the middle and upper floors only.

It was on the lowest level, access to and from for exhibitors was well marshalled, well signposted from the roads around as well.
