Palo Alto British Car Show

Hey! Who's attending the P.A. British Car Show this year? It's rapidly approaching... Sunday, September 10th. (Also, the Drive To The Sea the day before.)

Anyone showing their car?

Details below in case you need them.

Will a German Messerschmidt win an award again this year? Great little car, beautifully restored. But IMHO just didn't seem right, what with the Battle of Britain and all. Maybe I'm just not very "forgiving". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Also wondering if there'll be any more Buick-bodied Jaguars /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Always seems to be plenty of interesting stuff to gawk at: Everything from concours-correct to really wild to "I wonder why they did that?".... And nearly all of it British.

Was really hoping my TR4 would at least be running and could attend the show this year. But some other things have gotten in the way of that project, so maybe next year!

THE 2006 PALO ALTO BRITISH CAR MEET
El Camino Park - Just Across From Stanford Center

September Ninth & Tenth - 9:eek:oAM - 5:eek:oPM

Join us for the most historic British automotive lawn event in California. 400 quirky, classic, and thoroughly lovable British cars are once again expected to grace the field at El Camino Park for the 29th Annual Palo Alto British Car Meet.

SUNDAY CAR SHOW - SEPTEMBER 10th

Join your British car friends for a smashing day at the park. Don't have a show car? Don't worry! Daily drivers, vintage racers, street rods & works-in-progress are as welcome as Concours quality restorations. British food, jazz, and more fun than you'll be able to tolerate! This year there will be individual marque awards in a minimum of 15 classes.

There is no preregistration and all entrants will receive a commemorative dash plaque. Cars will be placed on the field starting at about 9:00AM, and the fun goes on all day. The registration fee is $25 per car at the gate. Joining us again this year will be the cool little cars from around the world in the Arcane Auto Society. Spectators attend for free.

SATURDAY BACKROAD TOUR TO THE SEA - SEPTEMBER 9th

The British Car Meet TOUR TO THE SEA starts at El Camino Park in Palo Alto - the same place as the Sunday Car Show. This is a no-cost option for people who like to drive their cars as well as show 'em. We will be sending cars off between 8:30 and 10:30AM. A map will be provided. The tour ends at Cameron's Pub in Half Moon Bay where we will be kicking tyres and telling tall tales well into the afternoon.

DIRECTIONS TO EL CAMINO PARK:

El Camino Park is located on the El Camino, just north of University Ave, opposite Stanford Center. From 101 take University Ave. west, go under the Alma Street overpass, and turn right onto the El Camino Real. From 280, take the Sandhill Road Exit east and turn right on the El Camino, stay to the right to the University Ave exit, turn left at the overpass, then left again back onto the El Camino heading north. PLEASE, DO NOT PARK TRAILERS IN THE STANFORD CENTER PARKING LOT! Trailer parking will be available on-site on the south field baseball diamond.

I'd go for sure, Alan, as it would be my first time. But alas, my new wife's brother is getting married that weekend out of state, so I'll be sir-not-appearing-at-this-car-show. Next year.
