Best of Britain Car Show



1948 Rolls Royce Wraith Sedanca, and yes, it's right hand drive. 

Rock Hill SC was the scene of a recent Best of Britain Car Show, so we had to check it out. Oddly enough, all the cars on display were British. Funny how things work like that. 


1972 Jaguar E Type

Vehicles were displayed on a grassy area at Winthrop University on a clear Sunday morning, and there was a display from the folks at Hagerty's, and a pizza food truck as well. Judging by the numerous new Land Rovers, I'd say they were from a nearby dealership, but I'm sorry to say I don't know which one. 

1997 Lotus Esprit, 6 cylinder. Some of these had 8 cylinders also. You might remember seeing one in a movie that James Bond drove underwater!

Here's some of the sights, with brands such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, MG, Triumph, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Morgan. 

Land Rover Defenders


Land Rover with Marshall speaker. Yes, Marshall the guitar amp company is also British. 

Land Rover rear seating, ready for safari. I guess if you are doing serious off-roading you don't worry about head restraints.

Jaguar E Types

V12 powered Jaaaaaaaaggggggggg!!!!!

1958 Jaguar XK150! I'm putting this on my list of "Cool Cars That Are As Old As I Am."

Triumph TR8, with a V8 in there!

1967 Morgan +4

MGB GT

Similar looking Bentley on the left, and Rolls Royce on the right.

1938 Rolls interior. The driver compartment is open, but the folks riding in the back are covered. 

Rolls Royce

The classic Rolls Royce Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament. 

Two colors of Triumph TR6. 

2024 Aston Martin

Jaguar in line 6 cylinder.

Looking down on a newer Jaguar door handle, with the brand name visible when it's open. When closed it's flush with the door.
