Stars line up for UK show

24th July 2009

The British Motor Show has been axed... but a new event is filling its shoes! The Midlands Motor Show will bring car expos back to the country’s vehicle producing heartland this weekend at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

A total of 40 stands representing big brands, dealers and independent manufacturers will be there – with niche firms set to make most of the headlines. Bowler, one of the UK’s top names in off-road racing, will announce details of its new Nemesis EXR racer, based on the Range Rover Sport.

French maker PGO will reveal its retro Speedster II, which started life as a replica of Porsche’s Fifties and Sixties speedster models – and showgoers even get the chance to win one!

Lincoln outfit miniHUMMER, which produces golf cart-sized versions of the famous 4x4s, will unveil its all-new hard-top electric model, too. Find out more at www.midlandsmotorshow.co.uk – you can also get discounted tickets by logging on.
