Auto restorers & hobbyists gear for 18th Trans Sport Show

MANILA, Philippines - It’s all systems go for Trans Sport Show, the country’s much-awaited car show which is now on its 18th year. Expect the finest array of restored vintage and contemporary cars at the showfloor, which opens April 22, 2009 and will run until April 26, 2009 at the Megatrade Hall of SM Megamall, Building B, Mandaluyong City.

Organized by TradeShow International, Inc. (TSI), Trans Sport Show has drawn the support and participation of Filipino car aficionados and craftsmen who display a keen passion for automobiles. Among the repeat participants this year, for instance, is renowned Filipino sculptor, Ramon Orlina, who will be showcasing an even more interesting VW Beetle.

“Trans Sport Show has always maintained a good number of vintage cars to show every year, combined with the contemporary custom cars,” TSI President Sophie delos Santos said. Indeed, since its inception in 1992 as a general automotive show, Trans Sport Show has evolved into one of the most popular automotive events that car-savvy individuals swarm to. It is the longest running motoring event in the country that car enthusiasts of all ages could easily identify with.

A key attraction of the prestigious car show is the Trans Sport Show Cup Competition, which has modern and vintage “show cars” competing for the “Best of Show” award. With each passing year, Trans Sport Show ups the ante as far as “show cars” vying to meet topnotch standards of automobile restoration is concerned.
