On Friday a group of us (6 cars) met in Milford NH for breakfast and made the sweltering drive along route 169 to the Hampton Inn in Groton CT. We got there early and most of the rooms were not ready yet so we all piled into one room for cocktails and munchies. Out to dinner at a nearby restaurant later that evening.

On Saturday the girls with one of the guys went to Mystic Seaport and the rest of the guys to visit the Nautilus Sub. When we got back to the hotel, a hose and vacuum cleaner were at the ready for us to clean up our cars. This hotel did a superb job.

Sunday, the day of the show was sunny, breezy and warm. There were 329 cars on the field. Several of our members won prizes. The CT Club puts on a fine show with very good food. The venue is beautiful, right on the shore.

We had one breakdown in the group on the way home, one terrible scare and one flooded car.]]> LucyMac British Cars of New Hampshire (BCNH) Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:30:56 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2302888,2302888#msg-2302888 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2302888,2302888#msg-2302888 http://bcnh.org/blog/events/]]> LucyMac British Cars of New Hampshire (BCNH) Sat, 02 Mar 2013 13:18:00 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2302860,2302860#msg-2302860 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2302860,2302860#msg-2302860 http://www.britishmarque.com/britishmarque/triathlon.cfm We welcome anyone to join us whether you are a club member or not.]]> LucyMac British Cars of New Hampshire (BCNH) Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:45:28 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2285347,2285347#msg-2285347 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2285347,2285347#msg-2285347
Here are a few pics of the party and some of the cars at Historic Motor Sports including the cute little Lotus that I wouldn't mind living in my garage.]]> LucyMac British Cars of New Hampshire (BCNH) Sat, 09 Feb 2013 15:55:01 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2232363,2232363#msg-2232363 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2232363,2232363#msg-2232363 LucyMac British Cars of New Hampshire (BCNH) Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:15:25 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2216911,2216911#msg-2216911 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?70,2216911,2216911#msg-2216911
After that, Nick Grewal graciously invited us to view his private collection. There were both unusual road cars and race cars. Now, I will admit I am not a fan of race cars and have no knowledge of them. However, I knew I was seeing some very special cars. I took notes and came home to do some research and was amazed at what I had seen. I would have expected many of these to be in a museum and here we were, inches away. How amazing that a person could own such cars and how fortunate we were to be able to see them. I will post pictures and information. Forgive me if I am not accurate with the information some of my notes did not match the research.

The first picture is of my favorite, a Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica that won the 1952 12 Hour Race of Sebring

#2 Swallow Doretti (1954-1955)The location of 178 are known today

#3 Lotus Climax 18 Sterling Moss drove this car to win at the Monaco Grand Prix

#4 1964 Lotus 32 (one of 4) Jim Clark drove this car to win the 1964 Formula 2 Championship
