This is little more than a thinly veiled excuse to talk about an air show, or what would have been an airshow if it didn’t rain so hard all weekend. The beautiful Jaguar XK-120 pictured belongs, I presume, to the owners of the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA. At the time of my …
With Moss Fog Lamp Bar #115-503 and the Hella 500 Driving Light Kit, your classic Mini can take on the distinctive look of the works Minis famed for their rallying success. I took the parts home and set up the lights on my own car. It was a straight forward installation, easy to do in …
Club tours are a great opportunity for father/daughter time. I am not by nature a club-type person. I was active in sports car clubs when I was single, but now I find that work, family, and trying to keep a motley assortment of cars on the road keep me busy enough without adding club activities …
It should be no secret for those around our Virginia headquarters, we’re quite pleased with our new showroom. To “inaugurate” the place, we held an open house on March 16th.

We all have them, or maybe are them ourselves. Today, being an owner of Little British Cars makes one something of an offbeat, if not downright eccentric individual. And in the event one is labeled eccentric, your best bet is to blame it on others. “You think I’m nutty, I had an uncle who collected …
It’s been my observation that ownership of classic British sports cars is not waning. The shows I’ve attended have seen growing attendance and participation, articles I’ve read have increasingly been penned by younger writers, and the attention my cars have drawn is steadily skewing toward younger, technically adept and astute enthusiasts. I’m not talking about …
Our LBC came from Kelly’s best friend and her husband. I saw it under a cover in their garage and inquired about it. They had rescued it from a field in California years earlier and had worked on it together as a project. They didn’t use it anymore and said they would probably sell it soon. …
Every so often we will post some pictures of the folks out there who are taking the Challenge. Many of the photos are sent in in order to earn the “Sneak Peek” bonus points. Others are just for fun. If you’d like to add your favorite shots to the bunch, send them along with a …
