British Car Show Time !

 June is prime time for classic car shows, and sports car folks can enjoy a very nice show put on by the Lake Erie British Car Club called "The British Return to Fort Meigs".  For those of you not familiar with Northwest Ohio history, Fort Meigs is on the Maumee River in Perrysburg, Ohio, and was the site of a very decisive battle during the War of 1812.  American General Anthony Wayne convinced the Brits they really didn't want to stay in Ohio after all !  Today, Fort Meigs is a historical site complete with a  re-created fort and lots of grass fields to park British sports cars, motorcycles, etc.  Here are a few pics of some of this year's cars.

Below, a really nice '68 TR250 !

For you non-Triumph folks, the TR250 was a one- year only car that had the body from the older TR4A mated to the new six cylinder engine destined for the TR6.

What says British sports car better than wire wheels !

One of several beautiful Jaguars

I don't think I'll get too much argument by saying the MG TC/TD cars of the late '40's are really responsible for the sport car fever that swept the US for the next 30 years.

Here is a wonderful example.. a 1949 MG TC.

What's a British car show without a Rolls Royce ?

Complete with dining fine china and silver !

I'll finish up with a very nice TR6 in British racing green.
