British By The Sea - Waterford, Ct

[11Budlite]

Put on by the CT MG Club, but they have classes for most British cars including Lotus. It's really in a very scenic location even if you don't want to look at the cars. Here's a link to the registration info: http://ctmg2005.homestead.com/files/bbts2006/reg2006.pdf

And a link for the park: http://www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?A=2716&Q=325214

Nancy and I plan on running down there in the Birkin if the weather is decent! :)

Sorry Jon, I didn't even notice the year on the form. The event was on June 1st. :banghead:

Nancy and I took the Birkin and spent a few hours there. It was a beautiful day and they had a great turnout of British cars. There were (9) Lotus or Lotus-type vehicles, with an Elan, Europa, Esprit, (2) Elises, an Exige, a Series 2 Seven, a Stalker, and my Birkin. The Exige was the first one I had seen in person and was a BRG supercharged model. Needless to say I was impressed! Unfortunately the battery in my camera died and I never got a picture of it...

Here's some shots of some of the other Lotus vehicles present: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/722725760_20080602_0028.JPG

The Series 2 was (I believe) restored by DSK cars sometime around 1980 and is pictured in the background of the top picture on page 153 in the book Legend of the Lotus Seven. I was only able to talk to the owner briefly before we got pulled in different directions. I never did see the Stalker owner...
