British Car Show

Stopped by a British Car show in Clinton, NJ this morning, last minute decision, weather seemed better than expected and had already gotten some things done. We had visited a few times back when a friend of ours lived in the town. The location was at The Red Mill museum. The small town has quite a few places to eat and a few shops. There were people doing yoga? next to the river, fishermen at the riverside, families strolling and a crowd over at the Car Show.

 Blacksmith shop
 Spring House, side, front interior.
 A log cabin. When I stepped in there was a person to the left, briefly after processing the possibilities I was startled. I first discounted it was a mannequin, next I decided it was not a life-sized cutout( we have a few standing around the place), then realized it was a person in an unexpected place.

There was a shed with farm implements too, but they were in poor shape so I skipped wasting precious film there.

Cars:
Jaguar
 F Type, probably our next Jag. It is large compared to the other 2 seater sports cars on display.
 This Jag was a georgous blue, photo does no justice
 E Types


Engines
 Jaguar
 Chevy in a re-chassied TVR. Evidently, the tubular chassis on these is as bad as everything else.
 Lotus, always glad when valve covers are branded.

A British one.
Don't remember the make/model just loved the copper plumbing.

 Triumph GT6
Triumph TR6
Triumph TR7/8, forgot to look at the engine. TR7 has a 6 and TR8 had an 8 cylinder.

A couple of MG T series. Midgets
 This one is older.
 This one is newer with a raked radiator grill and headlights built into the wings.

MG MBG GT

Morgen 3 wheels and exterior 2 cylinder engine. He wore a helmet driving in.

Here is the car that belongs to the Lotus engine above. Is is real tiny. The guy went from a Corvette to this, both were fiberglass bodies which he said he likes.
