2009 Annual
Clovis British Classic Car Show
Story, Photos, and Slideshow by JoAnne Green
October 12, 2009
 A gorgeous Sunday
accompanied by cool sunny weather in the middle of October made
charming Old Town Clovis a perfect place for the members of the
Valley British Auto Club to gather and show various models of
classic British cars during
the Clovis Antiques and
Collectibles Fair on October 11, 2009.
On the second weekend in
October of each year, many British car enthusiasts around the
Central Valley of California hold their annual Clovis British Car
Roundup.
This year, club members
started on Saturday in Clovis and drove their British cars as a
group tour through the Sierra Foothills. They returned to Clovis at noon
for lunch at the future site of the Clovis Valley Nature & Education
Center.
On Sunday, all
participants brought their cars to the entrance of the show at
7th St. and Clovis Ave between 9-10 a.m.
ExperienceClovis.com was on
hand to photograph the car owners and their cars
which were parked
in assigned areas
by marquee and model.
It was such a great treat for
fair goers to see so many beautiful classic British cars in various
models and colors lined up both sides of the streets of our Old Town
Clovis.
On display were cars made by
Austin, Bentley, DeLorean, Jaguar, Healey, Lotus, MINI Cooper (Old and New), MG, Rolls Royce, Morris,
Triumph, and Riley.
Besides the beauty of
cars themselves,
the pride of the car owners in their exhibits
and in their
skill of restoration on
their cars
were also vividly displayed through their enthusiasm and by the
attentive care they gave to their vehicles.
It was a splendid Clovis
British Car Roundup!
