I'm going to Detling on Monday, driving up with the missus from South Wales. I've never been to a kit car show before so what am I likely to find?

oh and is it worth arriving first thing? I was aiming to arrive around lunchtime.

cheers!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What he said.
Detling is ok for the first show of the year. Not bad for a taster. Only 1 month to Stoneleigh. THE best show of the year.

Sorry Claire you got in first.LOL

if you are prepared to drive all that way i would wait for Stoneliegh. i did a similar from the midlands to exeter and it was s**t hardly any cars there at all. and the forecast is pour as well.

I'll be going, but not sure I would go as far as you will
need to for it.
Usually a good selection of cars there, but as said,
nothing like Stoneleigh.

However, if it's dry and you fancy a good drive.............- see you there!!

Are there many trade stands? parts sellers? autojumble?

I'm going to be away in sunny Turkey when Stoneleigh is on so will miss it.

Not complaining though, we're going all inclusive and will definitely be taking advantage.
