NEC Classic: 10 highlights from Friday
There is a lot to see at the NEC Classic Car Show with more or less every single type of car fan catered for. American muscle, old British sports cars, Italian thoroughbreds - even motorcycles and mundane machines like Skodas and Ladas. Here’s a cross-section of my personal favourites.
1991 Ferrari F40
Foskers had this Ferrari F40 on its stand. It was sold by the time anyone laid eyes on it at the show - probably because it was in absolutely stunning condition, having only covered 1100 miles from new. Initially sold in Italy, it then went on to a collector in Japan before coming to the UK.
F40s are always well cared for and coveted by their owners but this one really stood out as a stunning example. The F40 adorned many teenager’s bedroom walls in the 1990s but even today, chances are not many will have seen a real car up close so the opportunity was quite special. A lot of other visitors seemed to think so too - it was surrounded most of the time.
