THROUGHOUT the Seventies the Scottish Motor Show h far outgrown the facilities of Kelvin Hall. Consequent overflow shows have developed in other parts of Glasgo quite unconnected with the official event.
There have been two draughty official annexes to the show at Yorkhill Quay, happily no more. The 1979 overflow meeting is at the more suitable and more amenable bus garage in Partrick.
During this decade of recession, unemployment and inflation, it is puzzling that the industry should continue to enjoy good health. In the nature of things contraction rather than continued expansion would have been a more likely course.
The Scottish Show is different from others, however, it is described by its devotees as a dealers" show. Within the confines of the two buildings visitors can meet their local vehicle distributor or agent. They can quickly compare the exhibits and not for the first time cheques have been written at the stands for substantial orders.
There is also a great advantage in meeting dealer and factory man at the same time. The dealers also welcome the on
the-spot back-up that 9
manufacturers' presenc affords them.
Despite the cash flow pr blems which have beset buye this year the Scottish Mot( Trade Association is cautious optimistic that the 1977 attei dance of 144,000 will be ove taken. That also was describe as a gloomy period.
Whether or not the attei dance is a record, the er thusiasm of both the buyers an sellers will ensure the success the event. The Scottish Mot( Show heralds the start of 0Scottish festive season eac alternative year.
As Britain's only commerci vehicle show this year it shoul also attract a number of foreig visitors. CM with colleague from Lastbilen in Stockholrr will be hosting a party of 5 Swedish operators at the shov with the assistance of Scank Volvo, DAF, Veeder Root, Sco tish Road Services, Christia Salveson and RTIB.
