Please let me know if you plan on joining us so we can have enough food and supplies for everyone at the hospitality room at the host hotel. There is no charge for SAOCA sponsoring members and donations from non members are appreciated. Make sure you reserve your hotel room early to get the best rates and fill out the car registration form and mail it soon!
If you are not bringing a Sunbeam you must still register for the car show to get the lower admission price.
Also this year if you are bringing a car trailer please let me know. We will have trailer parking in a locked parking lot near the hotel.

We registered the car and are making reservations at the hotel this week. I will be trailering the car down so will need to have trailer storage arranged. Will be bringing some small parts, nothing special. Look forward to seeing everyone, Regards, Dave

Eric, wanted to make sure you know, we're all registered and have Hotel reservations made. Wil be trailering the car down, so will need trailer storage space. Looking forward to meeting everyone, Dave & Deb.

Thanks for signing up! As of today we have 20 Sunbeams that will be at the show on Saturday.
Everyone make sure to register soon as early car show registration with the lower price expires on March 26th. https://bccmc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2024-REGISTRATION-Carolina-Classics-XVI-Tiger-R-2.pdf

Maybe you should make it 21. Made our hotel reservation yesterday. Lot's going on here - don't know which car we'll be bringing or even if events will transpire that will make us cancel the trip. But we're trying.

Finally got the Orange Project engine to run, so there is hope. Do you have a "partially finished" Mongrel Alpine class?
Bill

FrankenPine?

 

[Bill Blue]

FrankenPine?

Yes, that would practically eliminate most of the really good creations. My car, with brake system parts from six different cars plus fabricated parts and all the Alpine parts modded beyond recognition, could rein supreme.

[Alpine Addict]

I have a room Friday and Saturday at the Invasion hotel if anyone wants to share.

 

[65sunbeam]

TAC inspections for Tigers will be held at the Invasion!
It took awhile to get the required 3 inspectors but it will take place at the Invasion.
Please PM me if you want to be placed on the list or have any questions.
Thank you.

 

[65sunbeam]

Two weeks from today (April 6th) our Sunbeams invade the British car show here in Columbia, SC!
There is one more week to register your car for this show and then the fee goes up $10 and stays at that rate if you register at the gate.
Also let me know if you have a Tiger that you want to get a TAC inspection for so I can add you to the list.

Thanks Shannon-glad you can make it to our Invasion. Now we are at 30 Sunbeams registered and I am sure a few more will join us on the day. The weather will be perfect too-sunshine and warm temps over the 3 days. And all of the yaller pollen is gone now too! Safe travels to all.

Eric, How should we work the off loading of the Sunbeam from a trailer? Drop off at the Hotel then move the trailer to a storage area you have available? Or any suggestions?

What is the location address for the trailer parking?

 

[tigereater]

Have a great time everyone. I hope we can make it to one of these events some year soon. I look forward to seeing photos.
