THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
As many of
you will remember, there was an annual British car show in LA
for many years. It has been several years since it’s
demise. As all car guys seem to know one another, the organizers
of the Best of France and Italy have been convinced to organize
a British event.
With 12
years of growing and successful shows behind us we will apply
the same philosophy to Queen’s English. It will be a
non-judged "meet" designed for the enthusiast and serious
collector alike. All British marques ( cars and
motorcycles) are welcome. The fee structure is set to
encourage people to bring ALL their cars and/or bikes.
An area
will be set aside for an Auto Jumble (Swap Meet). Vendor spaces
are the same price as show entries. There will be food, music
and general merriment. The event is free to spectators. We
are all volunteers and welcome participation from clubs and
their members.
Sunday April 6, Woodley Park, 9AM –
4PM.
