Show Reports - Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show - LobsterDiecast Second week of November. There’s only really one thing on the mind of much of the UKs classic car community. The Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show With Discovery+, to give it its full, if rather wordy, title held at the NEC in Birmingham is traditionally the season finale for the UK’s class...
After seemingly forgetting that we have a page, two posts in two days!
Anyway... new Solido 1:18s arrived yesterday and very nice they are indeed!

Hello Facebook.... so far 2021 hasn’t been that much fun. COVID, Brexit, a general lack of new stock relating to both of the above and lockdowns that seemed to last forever meant that so far 2021 hasn’t been that great.
So with not that much exciting going on, we did the only sensible* thing we could and added another car to the fleet.
It’s been off the road about twelve months and the plan is to get it back on the road for summer. So far we’ve done new brakes, exhaust, replaced a couple of sensors and sorted out a few electrical issues plus given it a good tidy up. Next few weeks might just see it MOTd if we’re lucky... so that’s us. What have you been up to?
Today, a trio of classic fast Fords arrived in store...

We like this news very much. But then we would, wouldn't we :)
L’année 2020 chez Solido a été marquée par l’arrivée de la mythique Twingo. En 2021, la plus mignonne des Renault sera de retour dans sa version « toit ouvrant ». Nous ne garantissons pas qu’un Sumo puisse y rentrer mais nous sommes persuadés qu’elle va vous plaire !
A demain ! :)

Sunday morning. NEC weekend. Normally we'd be having a pre show wander, taking in the cars before the show opens to the public. Not this year though (well, obviously). I've missed the show more that I thought I would this year though - its massively hard work but its also really enjoyable, so hopefully we'll be back there next year. One way or another... Anyway, here's a few of our favourites from the last few years.
Absolutely chuffed to bits to be involved in supplying a couple of 1:43 cars for this... Put your feet up and have a watch!

About ten years ago, Norev released a nice, 1:43 Halloween themed Renault 5 on a broomstick. Seemed like a good idea, in reality took absolutely ages to sell them all... Seems that R5 fans don't want their diecasts mounted on a broomstick.
Who knew?

Sad but pretty much expected news.
It is with great sadness that we have decided there is no alternative but to postpone the 2020 edition of the show, despite pulling out all the stops to try and make the annual season finale happen.
Having been given the greenlight by government for organised events to resume from 1 October, we were so excited at the prospect of bringing the community back together, with all our COVID-secure measures in place to create a safe and controlled environment for all involved.
Although this hasn’t changed since the latest government update, it is currently under review and has created uncertainty for both our exhibitors and visitors. Add to this the prospect of local lockdowns still being in place and the communities’ understandable concern about what an indoor event experience will be, even with all the precautions we’re putting in place, we have taken this difficult decision.
As a team, we are extremely disappointed as we have done everything within our power to try and make it happen. We want to thank all our partners, clubs, exhibitors, visitors and suppliers who have supported our endeavours to bring the show to you this year. We understand that this decision will be a disappointment to many people who eagerly await the Classic Motor Show each year and look forward to when we can get together again.
While we won’t be coming together as a motoring community this year within the halls of the NEC, to celebrate the classics we love, we will continue to share stories, memories and news across our digital platforms.
There will be a time when

Our Story...
Hi, We are LobsterDiecast. We supply diecast model classic cars.
Established in 2007, we’ve been supplying a massive range of models to private and business customers around the world for the last ten years. In 2017 we’ve moved to new premises allowing us to further expand our product range and enabling us to hold a greater range of diecast and resin models and automotive collectables in stock.
You can see everything we do at lobsterdiecast.co.uk but if you can’t find what you’re looking for us on the site then drop us an email - [email protected] or do the old fashioned but actually quite convenient thing and ring us - 01282 433245 - and we’ll see what we can do. Otherwise you could send us a message on facebook but well, seeing as you’re here already we’ll assume you already know that.
We’re primarily an online retail, mail order business but you will find us at a select few car shows including the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, held every November.
