SPECIAL FEATURE
Noakes stated: “The Coventry Transport museum is an obvious sort off partner for an event like this. It is a fantastic museum, with great resources and it is free as well. Whenever someone visits Coventry, I ask him or her to visit the museum right a way. The Transport Museum brought along half a dozen of their vehicles, a lot of classic cars and vans for the 2012 Car Day.” The popularity of the Coventry Car day was considerable even though not exact. Noakes claimed: “We are actually not absolutely sure. It was a free event and there were no stalls selling tickets. There were an estimated 4000 people.” The last years Car Day venue was the Coventry University Hub and the Alan Berry building. The square was full of cars and thousands of people who were able to come along and get introduced to and be reminded of Coventry’s automotive heritage. The event conveys a good and useful message about the University and the kind of courses and activities they offer. Noakes stated: “We are hoping to have another Coventry Car Day this year which will be slightly different from last years. We are planning to organise a road show and take the exhibits to the Broadgate Square in the Coventry City Centre.”
