This years theme has been announced as Heroes and Heroines. As we have never really got involved with the "themes" (partly due to not knowing anything about them), maybe we could float some ideas around for the exhibitors to get involved this year:

The organisers of the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show have revealed that this year’s show theme is ‘Heroes and Heroines’. Held from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th November, clubs and exhibitors are invited to pay tribute to the people and motors that are their inspiration.

 

Dan Nwaokolo, Show Director, explains: “Everyone has a hero, something or somebody that inspires and encourages them, and with the timing of this year’s show, being Remembrance weekend, we simply had to recognise the brave men and women who have served their country, so this theme was the perfect choice.”

 

The 250 exhibiting clubs are encouraged to get creative with their displays and to interpret the theme in their own unique way.

 

Some may choose to celebrate the heroic cars that were the leaders of the marque’s fleet or saved a manufacturer from failure or maybe the motors that were the changing point in motoring history such as the first V8 engine, advanced braking systems, etc.

 

There are also the people who changed motoring history by setting a world record, designing a revolutionary car, or inventing things we take for granted such as traffic lights and road signs.

 

Cars and bikes driven by our heroes and heroines could feature be it from motorsport, royalty, music or film, along with the motors linked to heroic achievements or milestones.

 

Unsung or forgotten heroes could be a route for some displays to take, highlighting pit crews, co-drivers, stuntmen and service engineers who are not normally recognised.

 

Then there are everyone’s own heroes and heroines. For some it will be their parents who taught them to drive or took them on family adventures in their classic car, for others it will be the famous names that were the driving force in their lives.

 

Being Remembrance weekend, there are also the vehicles used as part of the war effort and the incredible people who were behind the wheel at such a difficult time, which are bound to be celebrated.

 

Richard Morley, Operations Director at Lancaster Insurance, said: “We’re really excited about this year’s theme as it gives real scope for clubs and exhibitors to make it their own and pay tribute to their own heroes and heroines. The show is one of the highlights of our year, which is why we signed up to be headline sponsor for the next three years, and we can’t wait to see how the theme is interpreted.”

 

In the coming weeks, there will be many opportunities for classic enthusiasts to share their stories of their own heroes and heroines and the heroic cars they love.

i would nominate you @groover as my hero for travelling up from IOW and manning the stand all weekend :)
