Terryg Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I was at the Manchester Classic Car Show yesterday and apart from the ever partisan 924 boys (not impressed I added a Boxster to the fleet) there were no other Porsches! Now bearing in mind the MX5 and MR2 enthusiatss where there in numbers would it not be possible for one of the Porsche clubs to put on a bit of a show? Possibly the wrong zone for the post but I only really user the 986 bit Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Definition of a classic? 20, 25 years old? Modern classic? Mk2 MR2s were from 1990, I think MX5s similar. You'd struggle to find a Boxster from 1996. Maybe still a bit new. Let the turbos establish themselves, then the 986 will be a classic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Menoporsche I meant NO PORSCHE AT ALL apart from 924, actually I lie there was a 914 and another whose number I can't recall but they weren't on Porsche stands. Seems odd for one of the most desirable brands in the World Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Normally a couple of ratty 944's at most car gatherings/shows I attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 A couple of 944s (one softop in excellent condition) a Carrera S and a stunning late 80s 911 at Leyland today, all really good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryg Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Just think its sad, we know there are some amazing cars out there but they need to be seen and enjoyed by a wide audience, My Boxster was very much enjoyed by some Polish lads who had imbibed quite a lot of their favourite tipple yesterday.

Terryg Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Just saw this old thread, this criticism can't be levelled at the NEC show, pretty sure the Porsche representation was larger than any other marque, well done to all the clubs and individuals who helped make it such a treat for Porsche lovers.
