We will have a parts room and a nice hospitality room to hang out in during the weekend. If your car is not running yet, bring it on a trailer or just come visit and learn more about Sunbeams and their owners.
At last year's show we had nearly 20 Sunbeams gather from all over the Southeast. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thank-you, Eric

We have 12 Sunbeams registered so far (including one Imp!) and room for lots more. Come join us even if your car is not yet running-bring it on a trailer for us to admire your work! We have a great weekend planned for everyone and this year the show is in conjunction with the Scottish Games so there will be plenty to see and do for the whole family. Well over 100 British cars will be at the show on Saturday. Eric

Please post pics after the show, always fun to see other Sunbeams.

Here is the Sunbeam line up from last year's show! And the Imp owner sold his Imp and is bringing his Husky instead-another seldom seen Rootes product. Eric

Hi Eric, The link for the hotel is no good can you post the phone # for it?? Plus how far is the hotel from the track??

Sorry about the bad link, I have fixed that. The hotel phone number is 1-803-957-5000.
The hotel is about 8 miles from the track and the show and we plan on doing a number of things at the hotel as well for the group such as a swap meet and a hospitality room. There are nearly 20 Sunbeams registered so far and room for lots more-come join us at this first big Sunbeam event of 2012! Eric

As of today we have nearly 100 total British cars registered and expect another 40 or so to join us. This is going to be a great event! Over 20 Sunbeams will be there (and one Hillman Husky) from as far as Ohio. Eric

eric,
the red car won't be 50 until december. the alpine was built march 15,1962 but wasn't sold here until december. tell bonnie to figure on baking a cake.

So we will have TWO Harringtons at the show! Any other Harringtons want to join us? We will share the Harrington birthday cake with you....Eric

It looks like perfect weather for the show this weekend. The parts swap will be on Saturday at the host hotel after the show and there will be a good assortment of Sunbeam parts for sale. It is not too late to join us! Eric

We had a great turnout yesterday-nearly 20 cars including a Minx and a Husky. It was great seeing everyone again! Thanks to Todd for getting everyone together. Let's all get together again at the Furman Show at the end of May. Eric
