British Car Week has become an annual tradition that occurs during the last week of May. This celebrated week has been chosen as a commemoration for the wonderful British automobiles of the past, and their enthusiastic owners, who have so proudly kept them maintained for all to see and appreciate many years after their production. This special week is intended for all British car owners to get their British cars out on the roads in their little corner of the world, and give them the exposure they so rightly deserve. While not only heightening the awareness of these charming vehicles for new enthusiasts, it will also help assure their preservation for many years to come for others to appreciate.
During the late 1940's these cars became a popular means of "fun" transportation in the United States of America after catching the eye's and hearts of American servicemen who spent time in Europe during the war. As a result, these cars became a very common sight to see driving on North American roads during the late 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, and beginning to dwindle during the early 80's. Most anyone who was aware of their surroundings during those years has some kind of special memory of these cars. Whether it was a family member, or someone who lived down the street who owned one of these cars, those memories typically bring a pleasant smile to the face of anyone reminiscing about these unforgettable, charming pieces of British history.
The years have passed, and now we're living in the 21st Century. Today a lot of these cars are very well maintained by second and third generation owners who are enjoying them very much the same way their original owners did. They've come to realize how this antiquated machinery is getting much older and scarce, and recognize that it is so very important to do what they can to keep those Lucas lights burning ever so brightly! They know how important it is to continue supporting the clubs, parts suppliers, mechanics, book and magazine publishers, and all of the other businesses that support this very fulfilling hobby.
This annual week is as close as we'll ever get to recreating those simply wonderful motoring days of the past. It is our way of letting the world know that our cars are still around and performing quite well, and in many cases better than ever. Who knows.....maybe, just maybe, you and your favorite British car might spark the interest of some little neighborhood kid who just may decide to get involved with our hobby, and in turn help us continue the fine tradition of British car motoring for years to come.
So grab your goggles, and driving gloves, and be sure to top off your dashpots! It's time to have some fun!!

I'll get 1 day to drive a British car and then have to fly to Hawaii for a month. Maybe one of the guys who live there will loan me one of theirs.
