Pics: All British Car & Cycle Show

**vulturetec** · 04-04-2004, 06:37 PM

My pictures from April 3rd`s 20th All British Car & Cycle Show at Winter Park FL (near Orlando) are online (Click here).

My MGB that I did a detailing thread on last year and redid with NXT this year is the first image, here`s a nice side picture I didn`t include in the slide show:

Great pics!! I love British cars. Practical Classics is one of my fave mags.

I didn`t see a pic of my friend`s 1960 Vauxhall Velox (PA Cresta). Guess he didn`t go this year. No Stags? No Vitesse convertibles? No Austin Allegros or Princesses? Not even a Humber Super Snipe?

Ahhhh well.... I`ll have to wait for our local All British car show at Chateau Elan on May 8 to get my fill of Blightey`s finest motorcars.

Thanks again for the pics :up

Wellll wide variety, but not that wide a variety...

Don`t know if I`ll make the Chateau Elan show again this year. Coming home last year was about the worst weather I`ve ever driven in, and certainly the worst the MG has ever been in. I`ll have to wait and see

Winter Park is one of the bigger ones around here. The Chateau Elan show Bretfraz mentioned is also a big one - held on the grounds of the Chateau Elan resort & spa (owned by Don Panoz) they`ve got tons of room on grassy fields on rolling hills in northern Georgia - with pretty good food from the Chateau`s catering staff too. With editing I ended up with just under 200 pictures from last year`s show but I`m sure there were many more cars than we had at Winter Park.

Unfortunately the weather was pretty lousy last year, as evidenced by the pictures, but the rain held off for the day... Click here for pictures from the 2003 Chateau Elan show

I love the Brit bikes; I used to have a BSA 650 Lightning (horrid machine). The ones you snapped were cool; is the Vincent a Shadow, or a Lightning?

I just looked through ebay, I could buy my bike again for around $2k (or I could hammer nails into my skull, I guess). I`d better log off and go to bed!

Neither - it`s a `55 Vincent Rapide

That is a huge show, wish I could have seen that in person! I`m a huge fan of the Austin Healey 100`s and 3000`s and I love the 100 in Healy Blue/White that you posted. IMO one of the most beautiful designs I`ve ever seen. Saw an immaculate red BJ7 at the Palm Springs Concours over the weekend, I hope to acquire one like it someday.

Thanks for posting the pics!:up

Fantastic Pictures! Thought about going to see them in person, but had too many other things on my plate. Thanks for sharing!

You bet! I usually post my edited pictures of all the shows I go to. There are two more Brit-car shows this month in Florida (hopefully I`ll make both).

Another good UK magazine (maybe not for the purists though) is RETRO CARS. It is about modified classics. Lots of old UK cars, Euro cars even a few Yank and Aussie machines.

If any one is interested I will send a copy from the UK. It will be snail mail to keep costs down and if a few people are interested I would like to think it will get passed round the forum.
