What is great about the British Show is you can look at all the Rolls Royce's, talk about the fuel injection problems-sometimes the owners will deny.  Lucas electrics etc!
There are some neat cars there-Cooper S's, MG's, Jags etc :D

I'm in. I've been in  vw hibernation so long that I barely remember what these cars look like. Well, this year I will have the car out again if I can remember where I last parked it.

My full respect goes out the the people that restore those British cars to the ABFM level as making honey out of dogshit is no easy task.

 Very true! By saying dogshit I ment that (and you have to admit) that most british cars didn't do to well with the test of time and are a whole lot of work to get to a concours level.
