RIAC Show at RDS 1st and 2nd of March

Post by kerryminigringo »

Hi everyone and Happy New Year :D ,

After the success of last year the Irish Mini Owners Club will again be participating in the National Classic Car Show in the RDS in Dublin on Sat 1st. & Sun 2nd of March 2014.
We have been allocated a club stand that will accommodate 4 Minis only which is the same as last year.As this is a classic show vans,saloons, pickups, Clubmans, Elfs, Hornets, Mokes,estate cars and all derivatives of the classic Mini are welcome from 1959 onwards(even plastic ones)

Cars must be of a show standard. The cars will have to be left in the RDS from Friday evening 28th of February until Sunday evening 2nd of March 5 pm.
There will be security at all times at the venue.This was a great opportunity for the IMOC to promote itself last year and we expect this year to be the same.
Each Mini owner that is picked will get a complimentary pass for the show and must be available to help man the IMOC stand over the weekend and answer questions about their car and the Club.

This is open to Paid Up Club Members Only and anyone who puts their name down for this should realise that their car will be on show all day Saturday and Sunday with visitors able to walk around & view them so if you are nervous about a lot of people walking around your Mini you need to consider this before putting your name down.

In the interest of fairness to all Club members,Minis that were chosen for last years show will not be considered for this years,however if you have a second Mini that you think would be suitable please add it to the list.

More information on the show is available by logging onto http://classiccarshow.ie/

The IMOC Committee will have the final say as to the cars that will be chosen.

Can we start a list below of name & type of car below as we need to make a decision by the end of January.

Isn't the point of a show car too be different!!! To show wat a mini is capable of! Yes! Stock minis are great! But the other side if the market is much stronger

We would like to thank everyone who submitted their Minis for inclusion in the RIAC show but as we only have a 6mt by 8mt stand only 4 Minis will fit.The following are the ones that will be on show
1.Darran Hutchinsons 1961 Austin Seven
2.Robin McLerie's 1976 Leyland Clubman saloon
3.Tom Mealiffs 1980 SPi Clubman estate
4.Shay Martins 1994 Cabriolet and trailer(if it fits)

We would have liked to put a whole lot more there as there are many deserving Minis in the Club but this cannot be the case and we feel the Minis chosen give a good picture of the quality of the cars in the Club from around the country.

Well done to everyone who had their Minis on display and those that manned the IMOC stand at the RDS over the weekend. A great show overall and well worth the effort.
