British Invasion

September 11, 2021 — The show known as British Invasion observed its 30th anniversary this year in Stowe, Vermont. It claims to be the biggest show of British vehicles in the nation. It is indeed a huge show covering quite a few acres on the Stowe Events Field. As always, a ladies' hat competition was held. The ladies design and construct their own hats. Their creations show great artistic skill and originality.

This year featured some stunningly beautiful Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, some from the collection of Ernie Boch, Jr. Also on the field was the largest gathering of Jaguars, MGs, Austin-Healeys, Aston Martins, Triumphs, etc. you'll ever see in one place. The show was supposed to have featured a collection of Singers, but continued closure of the Canadian border prevented many of this make from appearing.

I was there on Saturday of the three-day Friday-Saturday-Sunday show. Friday evening features a block party and gathering of show cars on Stow'e Main Street, and more events Sunday. There's music, food, crafts throughout the three days, all very British. My photos of the main car show and hat competition can be viewed at this link:
