The FCCUK has a stand at the Practical Classics NEC Restoration Show from 31/3/17 to 2/4/17 where we will be displaying three club members' coupes, and demonstrating a live disassembly of a car prior to Joe restoring it.

We'd love to see you there (and since you'll be in the car park, you don't even have to get your coupe out in the rain!) - come and talk to us on the stand!

(Apparently there are a number of other so-called classics to be seen, but obviously they'll be of no interest to you.)

Tickets available from the website above, or for club members, stick your nose in the club section for a discount code.

See you there!

Hi to all heading to the show next weekend.

idea Don't forget to print off and bring your Club Vouchers that you should have received via email, with you to the show. Hand your voucher in at the Fiat Coupe Club UK stand (and persuade your friends to as well as you can hand them in to any club) so that Fiat Coupe Club UK can claim £1 commission back per voucher from the organisers.

I was about to post the same thing.

I bought tickets for my sister, and the tickets arrived by post but the vouchers came some days later by email.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

A Festival of Fiats Sam given that the X1/9 club abuts both of us.

Mine should be the gold one on that club's stand. Nothing too ambitious going on there other than my car has done less than 75 miles in the last year and it's a 140 mile drive up.

As an added bonus, coupe owners who turn up on the stand will get a free, gratis, and no charge FCCUK keyring. And apart from that, it won't cost anything, either!

While stocks last... first come first served.

p.s. you'll have to tell us; I don't think I know you all by sight.

It's been an epic morning chatting, we haven't stopped giving out club cards and discussing the vehicles on our stand, we should be seeing some new owners joining over thr next few weeks and some past owners buying again as the general feedback seems to be "yes sold mine and regret it" laugh
I'm finally sitting down for a coffee while there's a quiet spell.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Thanks to the club members - you know who you are! - who took the time to hang around the stand to day and help us talk to the visitors. Thanks also for all the vouchers returned to us!

It's been a busy old day... and I found rather a nice looking Ferrari I have half an eye on, to go with the Merc - complete with personalised number plate already on it - that Anita found.

I'm exhausted but still buzzing after such an awesome day laugh

Running the stand with only three people was very testing today, chatted with people from 9am until 3pm this afternoon before I took a break, tomorrow is predicted to be even busy so I'm looking forward to have Pete and Dave back to help smile

Thanks to everyone who popped in to say hello, the club has some really passionate members who love talking Coupé thumb

Was a great day. Fantastic to see the pristine chrono, and the "patina" of the 16valvers. It certainly drew in the punters. Looking forward to seeing the next rebuild project.

Nice to meet more VIS owners. We now know it stands for Very Impressive Statistics. Must remember to try different 97 Ron fuels.

Had a superb day at the show yesterday. Stirling work by Joe, Rob, Neil and Liz. thumb
There certainly is a lot of love for our Coupes. I posted on FB and will try to put some pics on here later. Hope you all have a great day and get to take a look around for yourselves! smile

No afraid not, we were so busy Saturday we didn't get any further work done on the demo car and Sunday we were chilled and enjoying the show so what I've captured is it Phil.

It was great to see the Fiat coupe stand yesterday, Dave, Frank and Neil car’s looked superb and obviously created a lot of interest with people drawling all over them. Well done to everyone that took part.

The November show is twice the size so there should be a lot more to see.
