I received the email (below) last night, for the annual Classic car show in Jan.

I am gonna enter us Fanatics/BMW Car Club to participate in the show. The car clubs can put any of their cars on display, not just classic cars. The car clubs are on display only on the first day (Saturday). Classic cars like Bugger and Clownshow’s E24’s can/will be there for both days.

This year we had about 10 cars, 3 of them (2x2002’s) we met there for the first time.

If you are keen please add your name on the list.

2014 CLASSIC CAR AND BIKE SHOW
18 - 19 January 2014



Wow, time flies!! It's that time of year again and I would like to take this opportunity to formally invite you to participate in the 2014 Classic Car and Bike Show. As before, the show will be held at Timour Hall Villa in Plumstead.

Please RSVP by Friday 29 November 2013

Saturday 18 January: “Modern / Future Classics”

Incl New Cars, Rare Cars, Hotrods, Streetrods, Customised vehicles, bikes, etc,

Sunday 19 January: “Classics”

The usual mix of old, rare and beautiful classics

Limitation on Space

As you know, in previous years we have struggled with limitations on space. In 2013, we once again combated that problem by eliminating all of the public parking fields and utilising the space for the Auto Jumble as well as additional exhibitor parking. This went a lot smoother and there were hardly any hiccups, which is good as this is how we will continue from here on out. We will once again arrange parking at Timour Hall Primary up the road and would encourage all exhibitors to let friends and family know that this option is available. Updates will be posted on the website. www.classiccarandbikeshow.co.za

Exhibiting Hours

As usual, the show runs from 10am – 4pm and these times will be advertised through the media. In order to try and make it slightly easier to get all the exhibitors in and parked, the gates open at 6am. We require ALL participating vehicles to be in and parked by 9am at the latest. This is in order to be ready when the gates open to the public and to avoid any safety issues with moving vehicles once members of the public are walking around.

As the show does not end until 4pm, please could all exhibitors remain on site until 4pm to ensure the maximum benefit to the public.

If you cannot commit to these hours, please do not put your name down to exhibit.

Some of you will have noticed that there were a number of people who left early again this year, but they've been identified as new exhibitors and have been contacted with regards to this issue. Thank you to all of you who stayed until 4 and even those who picniced until well past 5!! Congratulations to all Chairmen and club members. It was noticed, and very much appreciated.

Please remember that if you book space for 4 vehicles and arrived with 6, 2 vehicles may be turned away as this causes a logistical nightmare and problems with crowding to other exhibitors.

Bonnets Up & Vehicle Information

In the case of vehicles, please could you display your engine on the day if possible, as this is always something which fascinates members of the public. I believe that there is some concern regarding theft of parts, but this is unlikely to happen. In the interests of security, please ensure that your vehicle is locked if it is going to be unattended.

Please could you display some basic information about your car / bike / machine somewhere on the vehicle / machine – model, year, trivia, etc – as this also helps to enhance the experience.

It is the responsibility of the individual or club to print and provide this information.

Stalls & Signage

Although clubs may not sell refreshments, if any of you would like to sell merchandise relating to your own club, please feel free to do so. You may set up within your own display area. Also, if your club has any banners / signs, please bring these with you. This will help to identify your club to members of the public.

Refreshments

Just like last year, there will of course be a selection of food and soft drinks for sale on the day as well as a cash bar and beer garden. As before, under the terms of our liquor license, no additional alcohol (of any kind) may be brought onto the property. This includes bottles of wine, alco-pops, etc.

Entry Costs / Tickets

As before, we will allow one (1) driver and one (1) passenger per vehicle to enter for free on the day. All other friends, family and passengers will be required to pay the R20 entry fee per person. Many of the exhibiting clubs / individuals make a voluntary financial donation in light of the fact that this is a charity fundraiser.

We will make use of wristbands again for exhibitors and you will be notified when these are ready for collection.

For members of the public and those wishing to support both days, tickets will be R20 per person per day (ie R40 for both days).

Tickets will be available for purchase through Computicket ahead of time.

Please RSVP by NO LATER than FRIDAY 29 NOVEMBER 2013

This would be greatly appreciated as I need to know the number of vehicles attending as soon as possible in order to facilitate our planning regarding layout, health and safety.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Grant, are we making this a combined BMWCCCT and Fanatics event? I am guessing we're only allowed to take classic/vintage cars? I am definitely in for that.


This is gonna be fun!

I had the red e30 there this year. Had a full array of microfibre clothes and trim detailer in the boot for "touch-up's" during the day.

Gave up after 5 minutes and let the car stand there under a layer of dust.

Maybe we should employ somebody for the day to make sure the cars stay clean,if we are in a dusty spot. Otherwise maybe we all chip in and buy a blower of sorts to keep the dust off.

The dust was very bad... don't know why they stuck people in there. Some of the areas are full of the same brand like Ford. Why not make their numbers less and get a wider variety of vehicles in. :shakehead:

Yes, it will be combined. The car clubs are allowed any car modern or classic.
