August 6, 2011
An empty field awaited the DVC Pit Crew at 7:30 in the morning at Pennypacker Mills in Schwenksville, PA on August 6. Within a couple hours the diligent work by them transformed it into the 7th annual All British Car Show hosted by DVC.
A total of 87 registrants were hustled through and positioned with a diverse variety of the British marque. The gamut ran from a 1936 Rolls Royce to a 1980 MGB. New this year include a 1970 Innocenti, the Italian version of the Mini, a Nash Metropolitan, which, though an American brand, was built in England and a couple of Sunbeam Tigers.
Shout outs to DVC members for their award winning cars go to Bill Boorse, Mike Kearns, John Zemany and Bruce Allen.
Once all the awards were handed out the Pit Crew again showed great efficiency in clearing the field to what it was in the morning and it was off to celebrate another successful year at the Rippert’s for the post-show party. (Members… check out the ‘Member’ section for a P3 report.)
