Number Plate Press Releases

BCR At The Motor Show

October 2002

The British International Motor Show at Birmingham's NEC attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors all keen to see what is new in the world of motoring. Over 500,000 people entered through the doors of the UK's leading exhibition centre and a further 500,000 took a virtual tour via their computers. British Car Registrations was, once again, the only registration dealer to exhibit at the show.

Press day, traditionally the day when exhibitors try to outdo each other with their hospitality and photo-opportunities, did not disappoint. At the British Car Registrations stand, Matthew Holmes (who purchased 25 DEC after visiting our stand two years ago) was attended to buy not one but two Mother Christmas's who, when they were not busy serving sherry and mince pies, posed for photos with Matthew and his number plate.

Said Director, Brian Bell:-
"The response we have received has been phenomenal and the business we have done from the Motor Show has exceeded all expectations."

Some interesting (if worthless) facts about the Motor Show:

• Visitors drink approximately 267,000 cups of tea, 83,000 pints of beer and a staggering 3,700 bottles of wine

• Approximately 22,000 people are involved before during and after the Show, and the NEC brings in up to 2,000 extra staff throughout the even

• The pitch at Old Trafford would fit into the Motor Show six and a half times over registrations."
