With just over a week before the action begins, the Practical Classics Live Stage features and celebrities have been announced for this year’s NEC Classic Restoration extravaganza.
The Practical Classics squad will endeavour to ship a TR6 from across the pond, give it the usual Hocus Pocus treatment, then hopefully drive it off-stage on Sunday – fully ship-shape!
Once again a raft of shining teeth, t-shirts and celebrities are looming. Joining them will be Carole Nash, Fuzz Townsend, Paul Cowland and the effervescent Drew Pritchard. Friday will see Vicki Butler-Henderson and Alex Riley joining the stage.

Please note – an interpreter will be present at the Practical Classics Live Stage with Discovery on Saturday 23 March.
