British Marques in the Park was indeed an event to remember. Despite the hotter than Hades
temperatures, participants enjoyed an afternoon and evening of fun
and great hospitality at the host hotel on Friday, and a fabulous
car show on Saturday at Malden Park. Over 160 British cars
and about 20 British motorcycles were on the show field Saturday.
As you can see,
this page is still evolving. With time, and hopefully the help
of other organizers and participants, this should become a fairly
accurate record of the event, in stories, pictures and stats.
I'll start with what I have...
