HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR SHOW 
CONTINUES TO GROW

The NEC Sportscar Show 2002 being held at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre on Saturday and Sunday, 25th and 26th May 2002, is set to be a record breaking event.  

Mazda and Toyota are also new to the show for 2002.   The content of both manufacturers displays are a closely guarded secret, but look to Geneva for a hint of things come.

Mitsubishi, returning for their second year, will be displaying the awesome Evo 7 and highly tuned versions of the popular Lancer family under the Ralliart banner.

Lotus, Porsche and Ferrari are represented by Nick Whale Sportscars and Evans Halshaw.  Expect to see the latest models alongside classics.

TVR, Lamborghini and Morgan are all represented in 2002.  With Morgan assembling clearly one of the best stands at the 2001 show, expect more of the same from the popular British car manufacturer.

Other British sportscar manufacturers, displaying their products include Dare, who defy tradition with their unusual themes, Gardener Douglas Sportscars, Grinnall, Parradine and Jensen.

Codemasters
With the advent of Playstation, Codemasters have become one of the most successful global computer software houses.  Codemasters attend the 2002 Show with their first ever car gaming championship.  Visitors to www.codemasters.com are given the opportunity to pre-register their intentions to compete at the show on the new TOCA Race Driver game and Colin McRae car games to find out who really is the fastest of all!  Prizes include Playstation consoles, games and exclusive memorabilia.

Parts, Accessories and Memorabilia
The Sportscar Show would not be complete without the countless stands selling everything from alloy wheels, aftersales seats and in car entertainment through to original paintings and those hard to find components.  New for 2002 are Pirelli, promoting their range of high performance tyres.

High Performance Passenger Rides
The Sporting Bears return to the 2002 show after a record breaking 2001 appearance, where 900 appreciative individuals donated money to charity in return for passenger rides in the cars of their choice.  The 2002 Sporting Bears line up include Vipers, Cobras, classic and modern Porsches and Ferraris, Jaguars;  the list continues, containing a representative from almost every marque associated with the production of high performance cars.

Clubs
Over 50 invited car clubs will attend the 2002 show including the Healey Car Club, with a celebration of their 50th Anniversary.   Porsche, Ford RS and MG also have a major presence in Hall 4, which also hosts the Comma Team Dynamics wheel and tyre change competition hosted by the ever-popular Comma Girls.
