Rats - you'll miss the huge International Classic Car Show Nov 8-9 in
Birmingham. I went last year and it was great fun! Everything from D-Types to
Dolomites
http://www.classiccarshow.co.uk/
The London to Brighton Run is Nov 2 for some really really old motorcars.
I always go to Barnes & Noble and pick up a copy of the British magazines
"Classic & Sports Car" and "Classic Cars" before going over to the Old
Country - they have good listings of car shows, vintage rallyes, vintage races,
specialty shops, etc. See http://www.classicandsportscar.com/whats_on/
List of British motoring museums
http://www.classicmotor.co.uk/museums/museums.htm
Coventry transport museum is at http://www.mbrt.co.uk/home.htm
Nearby Heritage Museum has "largest collection of classic, vintage and veteran
British cars in the world" http://www.heritage.org.uk/
cheers,
Nick
