Hi Gang:
The 20th British Car Day at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum is almost upon
us! This year promises to be bigger and better than ever. Heres the
press release from the museum:
6/24 - British Car Day:
10:00 to 2:00: One week before the Fourth of July the British will
reclaim a bit of land here at the Museum. With over 250 cars in
attendance, British Car Day has fast become one of the Museum's biggest
and best events. MGs, Jaguars, Austin Healeys and Triumphs fill the
field in record numbers. Come enjoy the friendly competition to see
which marque has the most representation. For those fans that like
limited production cars, there will be such classics as Lotus and Morgan
present. For those who feel the need for prestige, we will feature
record numbers of Rolls Royces, Aston Martins, and ACs. There are
always rare examples of the English Ford, Cortina, Vauxhall, Reliant,
Morris and more. The 2007 British Car Day9s enthusiast is John de Campi.
He will showcase three of his Pebble Beach winning Rolls Royce9s
including two Springfield Roll9s and will offer a lecture on Rolls Royce
manufacturing in the U.S. The Sunbeam Tiger Club, British Bull Dogs,
the Jaguar Club, the MG and Triumph Clubs and the Austin Healey Club
sponsor this show. First and Second Place People's Choice Awards will be
presented in several marque-related classes. For the younger British
Enthusiasts, the Museum has organized to have 3Waldo2 arrive for a
special Where9s Waldo Hunt. They can also attend a great story time,
and help the Museum create a British Car Art Exhibit. Step back in time
and experience a day in the life of a one-room schoolhouse, while
visiting the interactive
1768 Putterham School Museum on site. Join the Melanoma Foundation
of
New England at their tent for a free skin damage screening and
children9s activity. Registration is $15.00 per car.
They say it starts at 10, but we all know there are people arriving at 8
or 9, so get there early for a good parking spot. Ill be hanging
around registration, and taking pictures in my spare time. For
directions, check their web site at: www.mot.org <http://www.mot.org/>
I hope to see you there!
