My neighbor handed me this the other day and wanted to know if I was interested.

Of course I said yes. Because 1) It’s not that far from the house, and 2) British cars.

So we jumped into the Mini and drove out there today to take a look.

Jensen Healey, everyone.

I can’t figure out what inflicted the damage on this Bentley. It also had a ding on the left front fender. :(

In my life, I have never seen this many TR6s in one place.

I was unaware that Innocenti made a woody wagon.

Damnit, the Irish sneaked in again.

My buddy is talking to the original owner of this ‘67 +4. We just stopped by to look, and he jumped out of his chair to talk to us about it.

Great guy, you could tell he still loves this car after almost 50 years

There were other things there, too. Consiting of but not limited to: Esprit, Europa, Elan, Tr7, TR8, Spitfire, GT6, MGA, MGB, E-Types, Jaguar sedans, TR4, TR250, Rolls Royce, McLaren, Big Healey, Mini, etc. It was a Triumph show, but they allowed some other marques in.

Worth the $10

Shit, I wish I'd seen this earlier. I actually drove through Lorton at about 1pm, exercising the Porsche. I would have loved to drop by.

The classic cars are driven there but the ‘trailer queens’ which are the most modern and reliable are brought on the back of a low loader. Ironic.

Honestly, I think they were dealership cars. Probably are inventory.

It’s still funny, though..

I forgot about that part when I posted. Ireland makes one car, and it’s still not Irish. :)

Its an awkward point because Northern Ireland is British just not part of Great Britain in that the United Kingdom is Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland.

I won’t go into all the geopolitics of it all though. :)
