Thank you for a super fantastic All British & European Car Day!
Over 315 vehicles, motorbikes and scooters attended, along with eighteen car clubs and seven vendors to give us a fantastic showing of fine British, Italian, German and Swedish automobiles to admire. Blessed with perfect weather and a spring breeze, a Beardmore London Taxi ferrying spectators and, of course, the ability to park on the grass, this show turned out to be our most relaxing and enjoyable event yet, honoring the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The Numbers:
- 315 registered vehicles
- MG largest class of 36 registered vehicles followed by Triumph (31) and Other British & European (29)
- Vehicles came as far away from Melborne, Florida, San Antonio, and Dripping Springs. The Coral/Snow White hardtop Metropolitan drove from Melborne, FL and back home.
- Morgan Motor Car Club displayed very British decorations honoring the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
- 80 pairs of new, closed toe shoes! plus cash donations
