THE BRITISH ARE COMING, THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!
As many of you will remember, there was an annual British car show in LA for many years. It has been several years since its demise. As all car guys seem to know one another, The organizers of the Best of France and Italy car show have been convinced to re-organize the British event, aptly named, Queen’s English.
Queen’s English will be a non-judged meet designed for the enthusiast and serious collector alike. All British marques (cars and motorcycles) are welcome. The fee structure is set to encourage people to bring ALL their cars and bikes!!
An area will be set aside for an Auto Jumble (swap meet), and Vendor spaces are the same price as the show entries. Food, music, and general merriment will be present, and the event is free to spectators!

Classic Motorsports Magazine Presents the Kastner Cup Vintage Race
It’s like a planetary alignment for Triumph fans, only way cooler,
since you can actually see it: Hundreds of historic Triumphs from
around the globe are converging on Watkins Glen September 3-7 for the
Kastner Cup Vintage Race, presented by Classic Motorsports magazine
and Moss Motors.
Among the luminaries will be the famed Group 44 factory race cars, the
first production Triumph sports car, and – of course – Kas Kastner,
the legendary Triumph tuner, racer and head of the North American
Triumph Competition Department.
It’s all part of the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association’s U.S.
Vintage Grand Prix – the largest vintage race weekend in the east.
Kastner will present the Kastner Cup to the racer who best embodies
the spirit of the marque and the event for the award. He’ll also be on
hand to assist racers and talk to fans of the marque.
TS01, a 1953 TR2 that holds the distinction of being the first
production Triumph sports car off the line, will also be there. Joe
Richards, who painstakingly restored TSO1 to its historic original
specs, will be honored by Friends of Triumph, the North America-based
group of Triumph racers and race fans.
Triumph enthusiasts and racers will also be welcomed into the Friends
of Triumph Hospitality Tent and into the town of Watkins Glen, where
the local Chamber of Commerce organizes the yearly Grand Prix Festival
on Friday.
Triumph enthusiasts have an opportunity to enter in a Triumph-only
road rally, and selected SVRA race cars will make a trip down from the
track, park on display, and then take parade laps of the original 6.6
mile street circuit.
