BRITISH CAR DAY REMINDER

[Richard Fritz]

August 4, 2024

Dear TEAE Club Members…
We are well into the summer months and if you’re like me, you can’t wait for fall weather to be upon us. And with the fall weather come some amazing British Car events, like British Car Day in Charleston, SC.
This is a reminder for all the Rootes Group car owners to check out the British Car Club of Charleston’s premier event… British Car Day on October 19th at Palmetto Island County Park in Mt. Pleasant, SC.
The featured marque for this year’s British Car Day is Sunbeam, and the cars of the Rootes Group, with a special celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Sunbeam Tiger. These cars will be the 2024 Spotlight Marque. Also, Alex Gabbard, author, lecturer, and automotive historian will be showing his Tiger, and speaking about the history of these cars.
On Friday, October 18th, the BCD weekend kicks off with a driving tour through Francis Marion National Forest to historic Hopsewee Plantation near Georgetown where a plantation tour and lunch are available. This well-preserved plantation presents the rich history of the area, interesting perspectives on prominent figures in American history, and architectural significance in its stately southern style.
Our host hotel, Hyatt Place, at Towne Center in Mt. Pleasant is the site of the Friday evening reception for British Car Day. Join fellow car owners and exhibitors for a casual evening before the Saturday show. Towne Center also offers upscale shopping along with several dining options and a trendy wine bar for additional socialization.
In total, 180 vintage and classic British cars are expected to fill the show field on Saturday. Well-known marques like Aston Martin, Austin Healey, Jaguar, Lotus, MG, Mini, Morgan, and Triumph, will share the field with the Sunbeams, as well as rare examples of Alvis, Bentley, Rolls Royce, TVR, and more. This will be a spectacular event, so don’t miss your opportunity to be part of the fun and friendship found in the southern hospitality of British Car Day.
To register for British Car Day, make hotel reservations, and see what the weekend’s activities have to offer, go to our website at https://www.britishcarclubcharleston.com/BritishCarDay2024/BCD2024.html. For additional information or questions, please contact Richard Fritz at rich@britishcarclubcharleston.com for a prompt response.
If you’re planning to attend, I recommend registering your Sunbeam soon because there will be no vehicle registration on the day of the show.
Thank you,

Richard Fritz, VP
British Car Club of Charleston
