I thought this had been posted before but it was not. I hope you can go to this event. Around 400+ British cars attend and this year they feature all Rootes cars.
The museums there are just full of rare and interesting cars and motorcycles too. Well worth a visit even without a Sunbeam!

As long as the weather is good, I plan to be there. It's about 3 1/2 hours from me. The wife and I will head out first thing Saturday and see the museum in the afternoon. Head home after the show on Sunday.

I'm close to the same distance but too far for me for highway driving and going thru Chicago downtown (and that pesky work thing next weekend)

I’m planning on going, will trailer the SM Estate because of Chicago! Looks like a cooler weekend but will bring the popup JIC.

Great photos Al-really a perfect day for a show. A few of us were talking-this event would be a good place to hold a Mid-West Invasion next year. Stay tuned!

Terrific show, and I'd love to spend some more time at the museum. Sounds like they have various types of car shows going on all the time. Well worth a visit even if it is not for the British car show. Photo of my car in front of the museum gas station. Also, not Austin Powers Shaguar - Shagfire?

I used to call on a paper mill in Kalamazoo regularly. I took advantage of that to visit the museum, but that was a couple jobs ago, so I have not been there recently.
