Shenandoah Valley British Car Festival
Mrs. WXKR and I attended the 32nd annual Shenandoah Valley British Car festival in Central Virginia this past Saturday. I had attended once before in 2010 and really enjoyed the show, so I was really looking forward to it again.
This year did not disappoint. There was a great turnout (close to 200 cars) and it was a beautiful summer-like day.
This year's featured marquee was Mini, but there were most British marquees represented, including some quite rare examples.
There was a nice turnout of Jaguars this year, and more XK8/R's than I had expected. One of the original Austin Power's XK8 Shaguars' even made an appearance!
The show had popular judging by class. I entered my white XKR in the Jaguar Late Model Sports class.
What an unexpected and pleasant surprise I had this afternoon when I checked the show website and found out I had won my class. I do not show the car often, so this was a nice honor.
Here are some pix:

Well, the combination of the dog and the jaunty Jag Wrangler neck scarf of course.
