BritBox

Entertaining, Informative, Annoying

British Car Day- August 6, 2005 at Eastwood MetroPark in Dayton, Ohio

This has to be one of the nicest British Car shows that you will ever find: a beautiful wooded park, outstanding organization, nice food and vendors, and proud owners of British automobiles and motorcycles.

No, the rain was not what anyone wanted, but the show still brought out the best of the region's classic British motor vehicles, and the enthusiasts who admire them.

Austin-Healey "Bugeye" Sprite

 

Here's a car that's always glad to see you.

Triumph TR4 & TR250

BritBox has special feelings for the big Michelotti-styled TRs.

Morgan Plus Four

When something works,
why screw around with it?

 

Triumph TR3 and TR6

The same spirit underneath the skin...

These cars were shown in the Premier Class because they won their respective classes last year.

MGA

Triumph TR4

Austin Healey 100

Mini

The Minis were divided into two classes this year, New and Old. BritBox suggests that the two classes should be called Really Small and Where's My Car. You have to see an old Mini right next to a new one to appreciate how tiny the old Mini actually is. An amazing package.

Triumph Spitfire

BritBox's sources suggest that the red Spit on the right went home with a little bling...

 

 

 

Alvis

Austin Healey 100

These guys always look like they are dressed up and ready to go out.

Amphicar

There were two of these at the show; they kept disappearing because the owners were giving people rides on Eastwood Lake!

Sunbeam Alpine

 Tigers are cool, fair enough, but BritBox would not kick
 an unmolested Alpine out of the garage for leaking a little oil.

Triumph TR3

BritBox believes that the standard of preparation that the TR3s showed was on a par with what you expect to see with Jags and Big Healeys.

Morgan Plus Four

Triumph TR2 & TR3

Lou Metelko's stunning TR2 came over from Indiana to play in the rain.
