I might be in need of a replacement Huco fuel pump. I can't find a a supplier I recognise on the NEC exhibitors list.

I'm up there Friday and ideally want to pick one up if someone is reasonably confident I'll find one. Otherwise I'll just get it mail order.

Fast Road Cars is your best bet John. Those are genuine, unlike ebay copies that don't work.

Bloody hell, not cheap is it? Has that gone up a fair bit in the last couple of years or have I got my rose tinted specs on?

It is quite expensive now although I'm happy to pay a bit more if it keeps numbers to more comfortable levels.  I'm going on Friday this year, hopefully a little quieter than Saturday; I generally go most years with 2 friends and we park in the Birmingham international train station car park.  We have always found covered parking close to the station entrance which is both cheaper and far more practical and comfortable than waiting in the cold in the NEC car parks for a shuttle bus.

What cars are appearing on the Beta stand this year? 
!980 2.0 Coupe - Owned since 1990
1984 Porsche 911 3.2 Coupe - Owned since 1998
