Event Recap – Charleston British Car Day 2017

British Car Day 2017 in Charleston, SC, was held at Mt. Pleasant Waterfront Park. Nearly 100 cars were in attendance, and a great time was had by all. The club was founded in 1983 and this was the 33rd annual British Car Day, and it won’t be the last.

Thanks to Dave Rosato of the British Car Club for this aerial footage.

Vehicles represented at the show ranged from a 1952 Austin Champ (a period competitor to the Land Rover) to modern Aston Martins, Jaguars, and Lotus. Best of Show was taken by a both beautiful and delightful Morris Minor Traveller with accompanying surfboard and trailer.

Just British is proud to have once again been a sponsor of this show. Additionally, for the second year, we presented the Just British Founders Choice Award. Last year the award went to Gene Gillenwater, the second member and co-founder of the British Car Club of Charleston. This year the Founders Choice Award went to Jack and Diane Lambert. Both Jack and Diane and separately been president of the club. What’s more, as the plaque says, they have exemplified the spirit of the club and honored the anchors of the club – camaraderie, cars, and community.

    • We have seen a couple of shows do drone footage of the field. Think it is a great way to get an overview of these events.
