British car day today. Normally the largest one day British car show in North America. First since before covid and while we were expecting over 1000 cars - more likely around 700 but still.

the blue one is owned by a woman in my club (in her 80s?) who brought it from Scotland in the 60's - it had been her fathers

speaking of old - 1898 Quadracycle. The guy drove it into the meet (presumably from a trailer) - barely any control, just ran over the grass - bonkers!

Speaking of bonkers - this guy also drove in - first time he had driven it.

I don't think there was a single British bit (Honda engine/ Smart car suspension but turning it into a 1921 Morgan replica
 
First shot had me thinkin' they'd sent all th' Sunbeams to quarantine. :LOL:

the lagonda has such complex electronics that the ignition went and the owner (from my club) had to literally put a new engine in to be able to use it again.

oops and, I liked this more than I probably should - still the original engine but very very breathed on. Next year he is bringing it back with nitrous

prepaid on the right - pay at the door on the left. Shortly after that pic one fella came in (Sunbeam) at the end of a rope behind the chase truck. :D
 
WOW. Now that was a car show!

:ROFLMAO: Frazer Nash. The one I can't remember the name of is the green one next to the Red Gilbern. I recall though that only about 400 were made.
