5 EXHIBITING OPTIONS TRADE STANDS SHELL SCHEME: VAT per square metre This is a ready built stand for you to simply move in and furnish with your branding and products. It includes the floor space, carpet, walls and name fascia. SPACE ONLY: 80 + VAT per square metre This is exactly as it sounds, only the floor space. It often suits those who prefer to build their entire stand from the ground up. The minimum stand size available is 6sqm (e.g. 3m x 2m, 4m x 1.5m) Should Trade Stand prices present a cost issue to some smaller businesses, we suggest looking at the market-style Classic Trader Village/Autojumble as an alternative for tighter budgets. DEALERS SPACE WITH CARPET: 65 + VAT per square metre Many dealers choose to make Race Retro their showroom every year, and with good reason - car sales at the show are historically proven to be very strong. We work on the basis of one car, with the doors open, using about 24sqm of space (6m x 4m). Most cars (unless they re very big e.g. Rolls/Bentley etc. tend to actually measure no more than 5m x 1.7m with the doors closed so allow a minimum of 5m x 1.7m per car when working out how much space you need. Packing in a lot of cars very tightly may not be as rewarding as displaying fewer cars with more breathing space so buyers can fully access the vehicles.
