29th All British Car Show

Wonderful day at the All British Car show in Mead Gardens, Winter Park, Florida. Perfect weather as usual.

Window tag for FF class, British modified.

Display with others in class.

2nd place, peoples choice award.

Once again the longevity award. Same car owned for over 49 years.

Old school GPS prize for longevity.

Overall a very good day.

Car show swag

Although not getting any of the peoples choice awards, I did manage to capture the "Longevity" award. The car owned by the same family or owner for the longest time.

Nobody present could beat 1964. The next closest was 1970. I think some of the Jaguar Club of Florida members could have beat me, but they were not there or with their oldest car, so they lost out on this much coveted award.

Something else to add to the vanity wall is the windshield placard.

A couple of vendors were there, and of course I had to pick up some Jaguar stuff.

Jaguar patch I don't know where it will go, yet.

Nice cap for driving.

Front plate I need to mount on the car so people can identify it without asking.

I had done an early registration for the event, so I also got a T-shirt.

The logo/theme artwork is by Gary Thomas, a JCOF member and renowned artist.
2011 was the year of the Jaguar E-type, and 2012 is the year of the MG (Morris Garages).

No award for my Jaguar this time (peoples choice awards) not a concours.

I added a couple of Jaguar stickers for a series III XKE V-12. They look like they belong.

Good showing of Morgans.

Award

 First time out and got 3rd Place in Modified British Class.

Boot

 Got the boot lid at 6 PM the night before. If I had not gotten it, I would not have made the show.  Installed the license plate, still have to install the reverse and plate light.

Show wheels

 I had taken off the go wheels, and installed the show wheels in anticipation of getting the boot lid installed.

Mead Garden

 Some of the other cars starting to show up for the show. I got there fairly early.

Spot the air filter.

 Some people wondered why it was in the British modified class, while others spotted the K&N air filter an surmised there were some modifications that disqualified her from being with her sister XK's.

Competition.

 Some of the other cars in she was competing with. I never did open the bonnet. Still a bit of a mess under there. Need to do a lot of clean up.

Shade

 Everyone loved the colour/paint job.

Venue

 Very nice venue for a car show. Beautiful weather, could not ask for a better day.

Another award!
