These pics are from the Nec show this weekend.
Got speaking to the owner of this "bluebird", nice guy who's put a massive amount of effort to get it like this

So, not too much going on on the mx5 side of things, I wonder how one of these would be a daily driver here (resizing seems to have damaged the sign, it says just add a mx5)

I don't know why but the guy with "bluebird" wasn't on the owners club stand even though he travelled over from Northern Ireland and did promote the club

Ian Cummings and bluebird, he was invited to exhibit the car by the organisers, seperately from the owners club, an honour in itself.

That's very good to hear Brian, as you say an honour, I did wonder why he wasn't on the mx5 stand, any idea how he got on in the competition?

Haven't heard, so I suppose that may not bode well. I gather he also has a Focus ST that he also travels the UK showing.

I'm going to go against the grain here but I find that Bluebird horrendous. The second Mariner blue example is far more tasteful and restrained......just my 2 cents ! But fair play to him for raising money for charity by means of the car. All credit to him.

Fair play to him, second place was a good result but I imagine he's a bit disappointed after all the effort involved.
True enough about the other blue one, two of the lads with me both said they preferred the other one, mostly because it had much less bling.
I would have liked to see under the bonnet of the green meguires one on the mx5 stand as that car looks to be totally standard
