TV MOTORING EXPERTS MIKE AND MARK HOST CLASSIC PARADES, CAR CLINICS AND GAMESHOWS IN NEW LOOK SEMINAR THEATRE

Television motoring experts Mike Brewer and Mark Evans will be hosting interactive seminars, classic car parades and clinics in the new look seminar theatre at this year’s Classic Motor Show, held from Friday 27^th to Sunday 29^th October 2006 at the NEC, Birmingham. Presenters Mike and Mark will combine their motoring knowledge with lively audience participation and provide an insight into classic motoring for visitors to the UK’s biggest and best classic motoring extravaganza.

Ex-car trader Mike Brewer has spent most of his 38 years selling thousands of motor vehicles and is perhaps best known as the presenter of motoring shows such as Channel 4’s Deals on Wheels, ITV’s Pulling Power and Discovery Realtime’s Wheeler Dealer. He’s about to hit our screens again with a brand new show called AutoTrader, airing on Discovery Realtime on 10^th October 2006.

Another star of Discovery Realtime is restoration specialist Mark Evans, presenter of the ‘… Is Born’ series. Mark has restored everything from a classic MG to a Harley Davidson, a Land Rover to a Helicopter and is currently filming a massive vehicle restoration documentary that will take place over the next year and see Mark travel all over Europe. With over 1000 shows under his belt, covering a wide range of subjects and programme styles, Mark is one of the UK's most experienced TV presenters.

Mike and Mark will present the cars that have been chosen as the ‘Designs of the Decade’ as they are paraded across the stage in our drive-in seminar theatre as well as giving advice on buying, selling and restoring various marques in our Classic Car Clinics. Visitors will also get the chance to put their motoring questions to our motoring experts before Mike and Mark turn the tables and become the question masters as we recreate your favourite gameshows and give the audience the chance to win an array of prizes.

The Classic Motor Show has everything for the motoring enthusiast, be it classic motoring clubs, expert mechanical advice, rare tools and spare parts or just the opportunity to see some amazing marques at close proximity. Over 1,000 amazing classic and rare cars will be on display from all eras, ranging from Ford Capris to Ferraris, Sunbeam Alpines to Super performance Lamborghinis, Peugeots to Porsches, Morris Minors to Maseratis! The Classic Motor Show also includes a restoration theatre, the popular autojumble and ‘Dream Rides’.

Visitors also have the chance to have a ride in their dream car courtesy of the Sporting Bears. The Bears offer you a ten-mile ride as a passenger in exchange for a donation to charity. The cars available range from a Vintage Bentley to Ferraris and Porsches, depending on the amount of money you donate. All funds raised at the Classic Motor Show will go to help children’s charities in the Midlands.

The Classic Motor Show is a must for any motoring enthusiast - whether you dream of driving a fast car, want to take a stroll down memory lane or fancy getting your hands dirty under the bonnet!
