The NEC RESTORATION SHOW 2024 - an in-depth guide to the classic cars on show

- Here's an in-depth look at 350+ cars at the 2024 Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration show, held at the NEC in Birmingham. As with previous visits to classic car shows at the NEC I spent a brisk day photographing as much as I could (over 730 photos), then whittled them down to 350 edited images for the purposes of this upload, to feature as broad a range of classic cars as possible - on display, and in the classic car auctions sale hall.
The NEC restoration show fills halls 3a, 4 and 5, so is smaller than the vast NEC classic car show held in November (5 halls), but plenty big enough for me. I also prefer the emphasis of the restoration show, which in addition to showing beautifully restored classic cars, also features plenty of cars in "barn find" un-restored condition or in mid-restoration with work still to complete.
On many of the club stands there were demonstrations of restoration techniques, bodywork, trim and mechanical, which gives this event a unique feel to it.
The "barn finds" display area was packed as ever with some amazing finds, some restorable, others perhaps beyond any feasible restoration. The mossy Lanchester 14 was a spectacular sight for example, as was a poor old Morris Minor covered in avian guano, an astonishingly odd 1950 Cadillac (you need to see this one), a rare Chrysler 180 saloon and a mildly tempting 1952 Austin Princess, to name just a few.
350 photos are in this upload, some feature more than one car so around 400 cars in all get a mention. Apologies if you were displaying at the 2024 Restoration Show but didn't make it into this upload. Maybe next year!

Hi from Australia I'm in my 70's and not very mobile, so I go to car shows on you tube. Your"s and Harley's are the most enjoyable by far. Well done!
Thanks Raymond, nice to know that you're finding them of interest
Rick - that was spectacular ! By far the BEST way to see the show. 'Other' videos show it live and the noise and camera work is not always the best, so hats off to you for spending the time to create this version for us. I'd take away the Princess 4 litre R, SAAB 93, any of the Armstrong Siddeleys or that gorgeous Transit Camper. Brilliant collection of pictures - thanks once again. Take care 🙂
Thanks, it seems to work when trying to pack in as many exhibits as possible into a single upload, this way I can easily pick and choose a bit although it does take much longer to put together than a regular "walk and talk" vid. Thanks for watching.
A very busy day Richard . And "These boots were made for walking !" Love to have been there myself ......so thankyou for sharing !
You're welcome!
The P38 Range Rover was indeed a Press car . As a motoring writer I drove it at the press launch . I have pictures of the press fleet lined up at our hotel . You simply choose which one you wanted to try and off you went with a fellow journalist or LR executive. Diesel or Petrol , SE or HSE, manual or auto. If my memory serves me right, we were wined and dined at Clivedon which was the launch base having been flown down to Heathrow from Manchester. Those were the days
Most comprehensive coverage ive seen of the show so far 👍.
Thankyou .
Glad you liked it!
👍 we were there on saturday too. a good show to wander around
My, what an eclectic selection of cars; thank you for sharing. Loved seeing the barn finds. The exhibitors must have put an enormous amount of effort into their displays, and there must be many classic car restoration widows around!
Excellent report 👍🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed that.......
Thanks for uploading lots of the bits I didn’t get to see
Thanks, I'm sure I missed stuff too but I only went for the one day
Hi rick,what a great vid,fantastic cars from all eras,thanks for your hard work with the vids.been watching all the old vids,well done.❤
Thanks 👍
This was a much better way to see the show without all the noise and poor camera work that other CZcamsrs have put up. Well done Rick! 👍
I might try a "walk and talk" one day, but I think this way allows me to cram more in :)
Stunning big rover
Nice video again Rick, good to see the Gordon Keeble right at the end. There’s a chap who lives not far from me and he’s got one in a dark green colour. Stunning looking car, the styling looks Italian in some respects, and not a car you see every day. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed our chat at the show. I was there for two days but your video showed me quite a few cars I hadn’t seen ( or recalled seeing ) a brilliant enjoyable video 👍👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great coverage (as always). Was good to meet you too!
Thanks Andy! glad it was of interest
Nice to meet you again Rick, that's my TR6, you should have left more leaflets they were all taken within an hour!
Ha good news, thanks for popping them onto your screen!
Seeing those 'bergerac' triumphs,reminds me of when john nettles did a celebrity antiques road trip,and he was hoping that he wouldn't have to drive one. A guess what car they gave him. Beautiful looking cars. Enjoyed this video,nice music xx
Great video... Well presented as always... Thank you...
Thanks John
Another great video, probably the best way to cover such an event, many nice cars but my favourite was the commer van, love rootes commercials and very few survivors, great channel 👍
Thanks stevo!
So intresting to follow you across
Hi Rick. Good viewing. I was there Friday but you showed a few I didn't see. The green SD1 with the bare rusted bonnet belongs to SD1 Nut James. His Nitrosilvia channel has lots of SD1 content plus others. He's been doing up one of the diesel SD1s which are pretty rare. I also liked the Honda 1300 coupe. Never seen one before. The lady that owned it said there are some in Australia and New Zealand and all the owners try and help each other out. Thanks for the coverage I enjoyed a revisit. Mart in Solihull.
Thanks, glad it was of interest, yes that Honda was a neat machine
Greetings from Singapore! Great car show you guys got there! I wish we had classic cars like these in South Korea and here in my country.
Thanks, yes we're lucky to have so many good shows to go to here
Very well done,many memories of my youth when many of those cars were within my price range, never mind.Mike.
Dear OCC,
Greetings from Auckland!
You are right - the Jaguar Mk IV is the star - what an addition it would make to OCC fleet!
Cheers,
John
Maybe I'll set up a gofundme :-) Thanks for watching
Good One RJ I want to go as the club I am member of was exhibiting there but for certain reasons I cannot go to far away from home at the moment. There were some Polish guys doing a FSO Polonez there which was stunning. I am going to have to watch this in 2 sittings I am afraid. but watch it I will.
Thanks for checking this one out, yes it's not the shortest upload but there was plenty to pack in :)
I just loved seeing the Saporo. I remember looking at new ones with my Dad at the Chrysler dealer. They are beyond rare here in America but I'd love to own one someday.
great blog as all ways keep them coming Gary from Crewe
I'll try!! thanks for looking in
The delightful Austin at 1:04 looked like The colour that Morris called Porcelain green ? Such a great colour!
👍👍👍👍👍
@1:46:18 my Opel manta in white 🤍
1:32:02 Are you sure the Mini Clubman isn't just Harvest Gold, Rick? (Possibly a trick of the lighting?)
Occ, you reminded me with that gold manta that they were booted and hatched, the hatch being very like the cav mk1 sports hatch of the 70s .
I did love that audi coupe with the very bottle green interior.
Me again. The Austin Allegro was very advanced in car design. It was released over 50 years ago now and when compared to today's new cars styling , it doesn't look very dated. If you know what I mean. Very interesting restoration projects there.
The Allegro was destined to be a much sleeker car had the designer got his way, but the end result was a lot dumpier looking than the early drawings suggested.
@oldclassiccarUK I remember reading in a car magazine in the early 1970s about the Austin Allegro had a square styled steering wheel. Some cars were built with it, then it was found to be better to have a round steering wheel. And they changed it. Am I right ?.
Man, this one was a marathon not a sprint. Took three sittings to get to the end. Great content though. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad there was something of interest in there
Hi. I think I have mentioned to you that my father in the 1970s bought a 1948 Wolseley just like the one shown in your pics. It was black with the fog lamps in the front. I like the Vauxhall Ventora, a car that we didn't sell here in NZ. The General Motors Holden Torana from Australia was the reason why. The Lotus Europa is cool.
Thanks for watching
21:50 Could it be a Ghia Badge on the Cortina wing(s)?
Could be, I'll have another look at the original photo
@@oldclassiccarUK 2000E me thinks ?
Favourites:
#1 1983 FSO Polonez 53:04
#2 1998 Polski Fiat 126 20:08
#3 1990 Skoda Rapide Coupe 23:57
😁👍
Quite an eastern European selection there!
