For the third year in succession, British Motor Heritage (BMH) will have a major presence at the NEC Classic Motor Show (November 9-11), in order to further promote its ever-expanding range of Heritage replacement body panels and shells for BMC/British Leyland cars of the 1960s/1970s, plus the carefully-selected classic parts and accessories available through its burgeoning online store, Motoring Classics.
Star of the stand
Taking centre stage on Stand 465 (Hall 2) will be the long-suffering 1967 MK1 Mini-Cooper S ‘OYO 747F’, which was butchered to provide master references for the prototype MK1 replacement bodyshell that caused a storm of interest on the very same exhibition stand two years ago. Fittingly, it is that exact same prototype shell that has subsequently been employed in the recent resurrection of the original car– an exacting job that was entrusted to renowned Classic Mini guru and BMH Approved Specialist, Somerford Mini.
Mountney steering wheels and Goodridge brake hoses now available from Motoring Classics
Sharing stand space with the Mini and available for immediate sale will be a selection of best-selling items from BMH’s Motoring Classics range, including: Piloti driving shoes, Tex replacement mirrors and wipers, and Irvin flying jackets. Newly-available are leather and wood-rim Mountney steering wheels and Goodridge braided brake hoses.
British Motor Heritage will be displaying and offering a similar selection of goods at the rapidly upcoming Goodwood Revival race meeting (September 7-9). All attendees are warmly invited to visit Stand No.241.
