Novice pre 81 concours

[Martin]

Originallity is not judged in Novice

So if I drop the engine out and repaint the engine bay then the car will probably score more points but I feel it will have lost some of its originality?

[LOUIE]

originality isnt judged in novice but is it in the higher classes? as this would also restrict the work you could carryout.

is rust classed as a mod?

[Martin]

Think I would rather do a show and shine if this is the case

[LOUIE]

id rather show and shine and thats the problem son, its made to complicated for the novice. none of us know where to start

[Tim]

none of us know where to start

turn up at the first show of the year,see what the judges say and that where u start

[Alan Cox]

Wheels & tyres can't be changed in either novice or intermediate.

Originality will not gain extra points. Its all down to condition & cleanliness.

(i.e no rust on seat runners )


Would a repainted engine bay look in better condition than one with primer showing through?

I suppose it depends how much is showing through. It would be nice to say leave it as is. But if someone else turns up with a freshly repainted bay who's would you say was in better condition.

i.e........



vs



which one would you say is in better condition ??


I've got a feeling the same decision would probably be used weather it be novice concours or Show'n'shine.


The only way to get round this would be to have a standard novice pre 81 class as well. But people have already said there are too many classes

Sorry, but the fact remains......

You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

But if your the only one to enter, it want matter anyway

Car must not be a previous gold cup winner.

and how long does that last for ?

same here
won it 1996 onwards

[kelps]

Think i would be tempted to show

[Dave Easton]

its a simple class with simple rules

not marked on originality or modifications

no person or car who has won a gold gup in the past can enter!

so no spence you cant do it

if enough of u want it i am sure it can return !

Couldn't have put it better myself, anyone would think you are a secret bufty?

[Andyc]

so where do we go from here then is it going to happen as i would be interested if it means just turning up

Currently you should to apply to the log book co-ordinator before you turn up -(Application form is in rallye news). Giving your details & what class you wish to enter.


This way you will have a log book when you turn up and possibly get free entry to the show.


For some of the larger shows it may even work out cheaper to apply for a concours log-book than pay to get in



F.Y.I
A log-book contains your details & that of your car including the class you have chosen. It also lists the shows that year, and your results from the shows. This needs to be handed in to the organisers when you show so they know what class you need to be judged with, and so they can record your result in it.

im not trying to be awkward in anyway and am intrested in having a go but it does sound that those of us that are currently having cars restored or work done, are meant to spend the winter and are hard earned, to then arrive at the first show to be told weve ****ed up in some way or in the wrong class etc.
a nice idea alan but do you not think its a little vague in aproach????
what about a possible club workshop for those of us that are intrested in this????

[Tim]

best place to start would be to talk 2 concourse entrance
like hally,spence,deepest,custom or ask on here

for novice the cars just have 2 be clean

[LOUIE]
