Great Scot! British Car Show

Join us on the beautiful, shaded mall of Furman University, Greenville, South Carolina. Please mark your calendars for an exciting and unique British Classic car show event on Saturday, May 23, 2015. All British cars and motorcycles are eligible. Class prizes are: First, Second, and Third place awards (depending on number of entries) – Best of Show – Special awards to include chief of the games award. Voting will be by registered participants.
Send questions to: britishcarshow@yahoo.com


Your registration fee of $30 includes: Entrance of one (1) car in show, one admission to the Greenville Scottish Games (additional Discounted Games tickets may be purchased at pre-registration only for $10.) There is no charge to attend the car show. There is a $5 per additional vehicle parking fee for other non-show vehicles, other than haulers.

Also of interest is that during the opening ceremonies, there will be a fly over by the WWII Warbirds

We have always had a great Sunbeam turnout and party atmosphere at the show, so I hope we get a lot of Sunbeam friends here.


Here is a link to the Greenville Games website, and a link to the online registration page.

Hey Guys, the early registration is over, so I now have the task of laying out the show field. Just to make sure I reserve plenty of room for the Sunbeams, is anyone who has not registered planning on coming up to the show?

Thanks, and hope you can make it.

Thanks to Sam for the perfect weather and a great show! It was good to see Madeleine again and this time driving an Alpine with auto transmission. At 91 years young she was the most senior British car driver there!

PS-the L.L. Bean catalog car was there and got lots of looks too......

A few more PIC's of the folks and the Alpines....

Madilene was last to arrive in her newly acquired Alpine LRX BW35 Colour Code 39.

Note Greggers giving the Red one the-once-over!

P.S. John and Doug arrived early from N.C. Both cars were in great shape. John has a unique A/C system. Doug was the only V6 to show.

FYI, her alpine is a very dependable car. George and Margaret, the previous owners, have driven it to so many Uniteds that they probably lost count. it's good to hear she is happy with it.

Sam, thanks for another really good show and the unbelievably excellent weather. Being in the oak grove, on grass made it even better.
John Miller, Steve Kirk and I had a really nice, top down ride back to Ral/Durham
w/o significant issues. Was good to see everyone again and enjoy the cars.
