This was very nice last year, LOTS of shade in the show area, I think the setting is as appealing as the Berry College location, plus Greenville is a great place to visit.
Unfortunately we're heading to south Florida that weekend:(

Hi Guys, I was hoping to announce this show when the website had some errors corrected, but I will let you all know that the website errors result from a hangover from last years information. The correct date of the show is May 29, 2010. The online registration form is correct, as is the mail in registration form which is found under the heading for "rules"

That being said, we look forward to putting on a great car show on the beautiful campus of Furman University. As Tom J stated, the show is held on a spacious lawn shaded by 100 year old oaks. This year, the featured marque is Roll Royce, and the Rolls Royce Club of America has told us to expect 50+ cars.

Last year we had 9 Sunbeams, so I hope we can achieve as good a number this year.

What makes this show different from most, is that it is held in conjunction with the Greenville Highland Games. The Greenville games is one of the largest highland games in the southeast, attracting clans and athletes from all over the country. There are Celtic bands, border collie competitions, lots of vendors of traditional items, as well as many food vendors.

I hope all available in the area can come out to enjoy the day.

I also wanted to mention that we will have some special guests at the show.

A member of the the British royal family will review the cars. Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex, brother of Prince Charles, will attend, and I believe he will make an award on one of the automobiles. This may be the only chance in your lifetime to actually lay eyes on a royal.

Also in attendance at the show will be Miss South Carolina, Kelly Sloan. She too will choose a car to award. She will be there with a crew of this years contestants for Miss South Carolina, held in July. So there will be photo op's with a beauty queen with your beauty!

How many fellow Sunbeamers are coming to this show? Last year we had a great crowd! The setting is great and the tie in with the Scottish Games Festival gives you more than you can do in a day. Greenville SC is too close to Atlanta for us not to have you guys come join us!!! It would be nice to see at least 15 Sunbeams there!!!

Mark , Bring that Series 3 over to the show. It's not a bad drive for you at all. I think we are only up to about 5 Sunbeams so far. Tom / Susan are ya'll coming? Eric, Are you coming? Steve, Alan, Bob & Judy??

Cheers,

Rough crowd here-who said I was coming in a Mini? Rolls Royce is the featured marque and Charles wanted someone to drive his brother around....
