Yeah, several weeks late and real no-kidding fall is apparently upon us BUT, this year’s All British Car & Cycle Show, held under full-blown summer conditions (hot, humid, no wind) was another winner.

According to event organizers the MG Club of St Louis, this year’s field included 154 cars. A good number of the featured marque/models, Austin-Healey Sprites and MG Midgets, showed up and assumed the “line of honor;” the standout, parked a few yards away, was the Sprite-based Sprite-Firestar, based on the Lotus 11 design (something like only three built).

Otherwise, excellent representation by the local LBC clubs, with plenty of Jaguars, MGs, Triumphs, a couple of “Big Healeys” and a brace of Minis (original and new) and Land Rovers. Specifically concerning SLTOA, TR6s dominated, followed by Spits and three Wedges (1xTR7 and 2xTR8).  A mystery Triumph Herald showed up and parked near the concession area. Yes, a club flyer was placed on the driver’s seat, we’re hoping to hear back from the owner with the possibility of gaining him/her as a member.  If there’s two types of cars SLTOA lacks, its Stags and sedans/saloons.

Despite the heat, a great day.  And now, to settle in for some fall driving events.
