a 1935 Riley Kestrel, alone and unloved in Holland was chosen to be the eye magnet for marketing beer... it's working! Then they decided to land speed race it!

Nigel McNally founder and CEO of Brookfield Drinks and The Kestrel Brewing Co (Scotland), said: “Plenty of people told us we couldn’t do it. We have had setbacks and issues, particularly with the aerodynamics"

The car, with trademark fastback styling, had not been touched since 1965 when Nigel and Joel found it.

It's now powered by a specially modified 2.5 litre, 5-cylinder engine capable of 992bhp.

It achieved 7 land-speed records at Elvington Racetrack in June 2021, and is prepped for the June 17th 200mph record attempt..

Riley

Nice photo!
Found on https://www.facebook.com/cuore.clasico.ar?fref=photo

Good looking '52 Riley was in the parking lot at the Arizona Biltmore during the concours

1953 Riley gets a 2nd breath as a sports car, with a Volvo turbo engine. This got my attention, but not enough to buy the magazine

the magazine is Practical  Performance Car  http://ppcmag.co.uk 

they have nothing about the car on their website, typical magazine website. Months after they've taken the photos and written the article, they still won't have the info from a magazine on the shelf simultaneous on their website...because they figure you won't buy the hardcopy if you can get the info for free. Right now I can't find info about the car or the owner on the web

the San Diego British Car Club Council show at Liberty Station

 Deloreans were built in Ireland

 Barnfind from So Cal, just pulled out 2 weeks ago

 Best custom interior/dash/steering wheel

The above is a Berkley

great company truck!

What the new Mini coupe looks like

Quite a variety of Rolls Royce

And Lotus changed a lot too

Best display

 above, best cultural interior that fits the car show

 Quite a variety of Bentleys too

British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
