Brits on the Beach, Ladysmith BC - July 16 2011

 

Each summer, the Old English Car Club of Central Vancouver Island hosts the annual 'Brits on the Beach' car show featuring older English automobiles. This year was very similar to last year; I recognized many of the same autos in the lineup. All my favorites were there including Jaguars, Lotus, MG's, Land Rovers, Minis and and Triumphs. There were also a few new autos including a lot of Morgans and a lovely Bentley.

I must register a personal opinion however. As wonderful an auto as it may be, the new Mini is NOT A BRITISH AUTOMOBILE. In fact, I can say I'm not thrilled with the newer Jaguars either. I'd love to see this event restricted to 1990 and earlier British autos. I'm sorry, but the new Mini and things like Vanden Plac Jags should stay out of the lineup.

Other than that, the day was wonderful - warm and sunny all day so there was an excellent turnout to view the automobiles.
