Not Your Typical Car Show

It has been almost a week since the Wheels Across the Pond Show in Jupiter, and I just realized I hadn't posted any photos about it yet. This show was for European vehicles only, mainly British. Hopefully we remember correctly what everything was. 😉

On our way into the show, we saw this factory made Mini-Cooper truck. The owner had installed a small turbo charger on the original Austin 4-cylinder engine.

Nice line up of MGA sports cars. One of these had a Buick aluminum V-8 engine.

I believe this is an Allard J2 Cabriolet.

I had to have Dave stand next to this Lotus to show how tiny it was.

Lotus aluminum body kit cars...

We moseyed to the nearby beach parking lot when we saw this Rat Rod. How low can you go? It sat on the ground until we saw it raised up pneumatically as it drove by us awhile later.

A very classy wine and beer truck.

A 1950s Mercedes Gull Wing...

A 1957 Isetta 400, one of my favorite cars. It is hard to see, but it had a big wind-up key on the back.

Another Isetta, which must be so challenging to drive.

Another favorite type of cars, there were several Metropolitans being displayed.

1926 Rolls Royce...

Nice Bentley hood ornament.

The perfect pair...a two wheel Triumph being towed by a four wheel Triumph.

A late model Jaguar Roadster. 

An English Taxi next to a Morris Minor. Note the right hand drive on the taxi.

This is an open air Fiat Jolly, complete with wicker seats and a surrey top.

The inside of a brand new Bentley convertible.

There is a company in Jupiter reproducing these Allards at a base price of $250,000!

Motorcycles were a part of the show too. This is a 1967 Norton.

A gorgeous 1973 Triumph 650 Tiger Scrambler...

We think this was a 1959 Matchless.

Dave really admired these old bicycles...

Most of the time that we were in the park, bagpipers were walking around and playing. British music was also played through the loud speakers, adding to the ambiance. 

The turnout of vehicles was a bit lower than last year, but we were glad we went to experience this unique event.
