BTTF Delorean at the NEC Classic Car Show 2024
Attending the NEC Classic Motor Show with my DeLorean as part of the DeLorean Owners Club stand was an incredible experience and one that I’ll remember for years to come. The event, held annually at the NEC in Birmingham, is the ultimate gathering for car enthusiasts, featuring over 3,000 classic and iconic cars, from vintage beauties to modern-day classics. But this year, standing alongside my DeLorean, surrounded by like-minded owners and fans of the car, made it particularly special.
The excitement began as soon as we arrived. The DeLorean, with its unmistakable design and iconic gullwing doors, turned heads immediately. For many people, the DeLorean is more than just a car; it’s a piece of history and pop culture, forever immortalized by its role in the Back to the Future films. Our stand quickly became one of the busiest areas in the hall, with people of all ages stopping by to take photos, ask questions, and share their own memories of seeing the DeLorean on screen or even on the road.
The sense of camaraderie among DeLorean owners at the show was also something truly special. The DeLorean Owners Club has a passionate following, and bringing our cars together at an event like the NEC Classic Motor Show created an instant community atmosphere. We exchanged stories, shared maintenance tips, and admired the unique touches each owner had put on their car. Some DeLoreans were showroom perfect, while others had been modified or customized, each reflecting its owner’s personality. It was amazing to connect with people who share the same passion and fascination for this extraordinary vehicle.
The response from the public was overwhelming. Children, adults, and seniors alike approached us, brimming with enthusiasm. Many visitors shared their own DeLorean memories, and it was clear that this car had made a lasting impression on people over the years. I had countless conversations with people who fondly remembered seeing the DeLorean for the first time, and others who had only dreamed of seeing one up close. For some, it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane; for others, it was a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The DeLorean truly seems to bridge generations, sparking smiles and stories across all ages.
The energy at the show was infectious, and being able to share the DeLorean’s unique appeal with such a large audience was incredibly rewarding. The car show had something for everyone, with classics from every decade, but there’s no doubt that the DeLorean stand was one of the highlights for many attendees. The club’s display celebrated not only the car itself but also the culture and community that surrounds it, and it was gratifying to see how much interest and enthusiasm it generated.
Overall, the NEC Classic Motor Show was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the DeLorean in all its glory and to engage with a wonderful, passionate crowd. Being part of the DeLorean Owners Club stand allowed me to connect with fans of the car and its history and gave me the chance to show the world just how timeless and captivating the DeLorean truly is. It’s a car that brings people together, creates lasting memories, and continues to inspire awe. I can’t wait to attend future events, knowing that every time, the DeLorean will continue to capture hearts and spark imaginations—just as it has for decades.
