Sefton Borough Council has informed us that as a result of current economic conditions, it has to withdraw its funding of theShow. As a result, the North West Motor Show will not take place in Southport in 2009 – unless a new major sponsor comes forward, which seems most unlikely. The Club would like to thank everyone who has brought acar for display or helped set up and staff our stand at the Motor Show over the past five years. Your help has been most appreciated by the Club and members of the public alike.
Here’s information about our involvement in 2008:-
For 2008, the Club’s prominent marquee will incorporate a fascinating display of information about LMC and visitors will once again be able to see photographs of the Club’s past activities including Sand Racing/Sandocross together with information about the Club’s current involvement in motorsport.
In addition we will once again have a fabulous range of cars on display, includingracing cars, saloon cars and classics too. We shall be helping the show’s organisersrunthe live demonstration arena within the showground, where the public will be able to see in action some of the cars from our display and from other stands within the show.
We’relooking out for member’s cars for both the static and active displays. If you would be interested in supporting us, either with vehicles for the stand or by spending time with us during the show, or even by assisting us set up/dismantle our display, we would be most interested to hear from you.
Please contact president@liverpoolmotorclub.com for more information. A couple of hours, a whole day, or even all weekend, any time that you can spare to help us promote your Club will be most welcome. You’ll even get in free – as long as you let us know in advance that you are coming to help!
For further details of the Show itself, why not have a look at Sefton Tourism’s website.
Did you know that Liverpool Motor Club is one of the few Motor Clubs to have promoted Sand Racing in the United Kingdom? We have significant historic links with the Southport area, having run Sand Racing and Sandocross on Southport Beaches as recently as the early 1970′s.This unique form of Motor Sport drew large crowds on the Ainsdale Beach, though they occasionally found that an escape to the sand hills was required to avoid wet feet when the tide came in!

Happy to attend this year (2008) and assist with club site and event marshalling
Happy to assist 20/21/22/06/08. Also I can bring some cars.
Can bring the plus 8 if you like! let me know!
Yes please Phil. I know you are talking to Geoff Ashworth about bringing some rather nice motors…. cant wait!
Yes please too, Nigel. We’d love to see the +8 there. Give Geoff Ashworth a ring to book your place (on track too if you wish).
I’m pleased to report that we have some great cars offered for display but could still do with more!
In addition to the great cars, we could do with some “ordinary” ones too, especially if they are over 25 years old.
You’d be surprised just how much interest is generated by normal road cars from a few years ago.
What have you got?
Hi,
can attend both days to help, and can also bring a car – Audi UR Quattro Coupe – if required. It’s very smart but not 100% concours, particularly after some chips from the track day!
Pls advise if I can help,
Mike de St Paer
