A few weeks before our trip to Great Britain, we visited the 31st Annual Central Florida tampa car rentals British Car Club show in Winter Park. I ve been attending British car shows for many years, even with no British vehicle in my garage.
My first British vehicle was from the last couple of years that MGs were still being brought into the United States. It was a good looking, low mileage MGB. It wasn t long before I realized why it was a low mileage vehicle: I couldn t keep it running. I once pushed it close to a mile back to the house after it wouldn t start at a convenience store.
Working 60 hours or more a week and not being very electrically inclined, I gave up. The car has been sitting in a friend s garage all these years, still not running. One day it will be one of those low mileage garage finds for somebody.
Next came a couple of Midgets, a Sprite tampa car rentals and an Austin Healy 3000. The Midget and Sprite continued my British frustration. One Sprite I swapped for an old Honda motorcycle, tampa car rentals and the other I sold while it was still running. But it sold for noticeably less than I had spent on it.
The 3000 was a different story. It was a much different vehicle, with six cylinders instead of four. Built in far fewer numbers, they weren t common. After about a month, I drove it for the first time. It was a very powerful car! Just as I started to drive it regularly, a little waterfront townhouse came on the market, a repo needing some TLC. I had always dreamed of living on the water, and this would be the only way I could ever afford tampa car rentals it.
I ran the ad for the 3000 in a national magazine. Someone I worked with read the ad and purchased it from me. It was his wife s favorite car of all time. A win-win situation, I had my down payment, made a little money, and he had a happy wife.
Lots of Morgans, but no three-wheelers or aeros this time. A Rolls, a couple of Bentleys, a Morris Minor, a Marcos, and a couple of vintage Austin 7s. A lone Land Rover Discovery looked more like just a used vehicle, but it was still British. It was joined by two Range Rovers tampa car rentals from a local dealership.
Throw in a pair of Sunbeam Tigers, a hand full of late model Aston Martins, and an single Elva. Add a few vintage British motorcycles, and a nice display of Moulton bicycles, and the mother country was well represented.
