Wow, this is different an event in March, it's a very early start to the year but it's an indoor event so not controlled or effected by the weather. This was a first for the MESS, we had only ever displayed at the big November NEC show but what a surprise, the show was very good and we had a lot of interest in cars on the stand. As you will see from the pictures Bruce 'once again' pulled an awesome stand out of the bag. Bruce's pre-event electronic stand overview ensures we all know exactly what to do when we arrive in convoy at the stand location. (I think it's fair to say we all know our specific roles now.

The whole stand was erected and the cars cleaned and in position in 1.5 hours!! (Note the weather was kind to us and the cars were not filthy and wet). Kohji and Dennis visited us on the Friday as did some Middlebridge owners over the weekend but I think it's fair to say we were kept really busy over the 3 days. It was just myself and Bruce manning the stand on the Friday and boy were we both exhausted at the end of play, phew.

Needless to say the Red 24v Cosworth powered Middlebridge drew lots of attention over the weekend and looked stunning in its Land Rover metallic paint. Alan's Renault Electric Blue & incredibly original car shocked many people when they realised it was 35 years young, on the end was Bruce's car in its stunning Porsche blue which always draws people to it and then hits them with his totally stunning interior. My car was the 4th car and I think she looked well & still drew people over the weekend.

One Middlebridge owner has already offered us a rolling chassis for the same event next year. The last photo always amazes us, it's Bruce's Middlebridge and small trailer containing the whole stand and off he goes. Our next official MESS event being the Sandringham Classic Car Pageant where we will have a big new stand, we will also be collecting the Royal Middlebridge from the Great British Car Journey, Derbyshire for display at Sandringham, Norfolk alongside a fleet of Royal cars in a special marquee.
