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 almost as long-lived (and equally much-loved) indoor show, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham from 8-10 November.
And the idea sounds like a genuinely fun one: 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.
