How We're Helping
Through social interaction with all folks welcome and interaction with the public during shows. We advance the preservation of English Metal for future generations.
Get Involved
Whether you own a British car, or just have an appreciation for them, you are welcome to join us and get involved in our organization!
History
The club dates back to the ‘70s but it went through, possibly a couple, dormant times during the ‘80s and ‘90s. However, we’ve been meeting again for the last 10+ years at least. We meet once a month on the 4th Tuesday (Even months) or Thursday (Odd months), alternating each month to accommodate schedules. We meet @ 6:30 PM at a different area restaurant. Spouses are very welcome and usually make the most noise! We’re very low key but possess a lot of knowledge that may be of help with your restoration. We have a casual meeting while we eat and enjoy each other’s company where we plan events we want to attend or just plan a weekend drive. We decided a few years back to have yearly dues of $10/year/family. Don’t worry about that for now though, rather please just join us for some meetings and see if you have an interest. Oh, and your question about “Can you join your club without a running car?”, the answer is absolutely, we couldn’t have a British car club with that requirement, we wouldn’t have any members!

Trip to Hotel Roanoke and O Winston Link Museum
22 folks went first to the Hotel Roanoke for a great meal served turret style. Then we walked down the hill to the Transportation Museum and the O Winston Link display. An afternoon filled with good friends, great food and a wonderful experience.
