I'm looking to buy a new car and would like to visit a car show to get to look at many options in one place.

Trouble is the downturn in the economy seems to have put a stop to these type of shows.

So, is anyone aware of any upcoming new car shows in Southern England, preferably Hampshire, Dorset, Sussex or Wiltshire.

Thanks
Waddle you do eh?

    The best place to look at your options is online with a glass of sherry in hand. Then just order one, test drives with car salesmen that you end up wanting to lamp are over rated. Make sure you get at least 20% off the list price and you have done a good job.

    If where you live is anything like where I am all the dealerships seem to be clustered together on a single retail park making them easier to wander round and look at what's on offer.
    One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.

    I wish that were the case here but all the manufacturers seem to have their own dealerships and they are spread over a wide area.

    That's what makes a motor show so appealing and convenient for me.

    Thanks agrinnall,

    As you say a little too far, but that's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

    Goodwood FOS tomorrow there's the 'moving motor show' where the manufacturers get the chance to show off their new offerings.

    It's £20 for the day and lots to see. :cool:

    Thanks Limey,

    That would have been good as it's not too far but unfortunately I cannot make it, but I appreciate your post.
