TRUMP
TOWERS
It’s been a childhood favourite for 40 years, and
now a special super-sized version of Top Trumps
will be the star of this year’s Lancaster Insurance
Classic Motor Show, with Discovery.
The long-lived and much-loved card game will
form the theme of the indoor show, which takes
place at the NEC, Birmingham from November 8-10.
Clubs and exhibitors will be able to use the Top
Trumps format as the basis for vehicle information
boards displaying five key facts about each car, in
effect creating what organisers describe as the
biggest-ever version of the game.
What’s more, a special classic car-themed version
of the game has been produced to celebrate the
35th anniversary of both the NEC show and
Lancaster Insurance, and will be launched at the
event. The special-edition pack, to be produced by
the brand’s owner, Winning Moves, can already be
ordered along with tickets to the show – for an extra
£5 — and is set to feature 30 cars that will reflect the
3000 vehicles on display at the NEC.
Tickets for the NEC Classic Motor Show — and
the special Top Trumps packs that go with them
— are available now from:
