Listers,
For the past 5 days, we the British Automobile Touring Association
of Nova Scotia, have had the privilege of hosting 28 participants from the
CAAR-GB
(Club of Ancient Automobiles and Rallies - Great Britian) who as of today,
have set out
on a tour that will take them from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Orlando, Florida
during the next four weeks. They shipped their 14 cars from Holland and the
UK to Halifax and picked them up last Sunday and are passing through New
Brunswick,
Quebec and Ontario where they will cross into New York State at Niagara Falls.
Other states they will be passing through are Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia to Florida.
The cars they are driving include a unique
1927 Morris Oxford (Bullhead) touring,
1932 Essex Terraplane Special (touring),
1936 MGTA (Isle of Man),
1938 Buick 40 from Holland,
1954 XK120 and XK140 DH Coupes,
1951 Bentley MK6
1954 Bentley MK6,
1959 Edsel Ranger Convertible,
1968 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow
1970 Mercedes Benz 250 SL,
1972 Triumph Stag,
1971 Jaguar E Type V12,
1972 Jaguar XJ6.
They are a wonderful group and I'm sure they would look forward to meeting
other car enthusiasts and clubs along their route. The itinerary for their
trip can be found
at their web site:

I also have a list of the motels/hotels they are booked into each night so
if you are
interested in meeting a great bunch of people and some neat cars, e-mail me.
Regards,
Bob
