Capri - All British Day, Brisbane 2017

Sunday (17 Sept) was the annual All British Day. This is always a good day & held in the very pleasant surroundings of the St Joseph’s College Sports Ground at Tennyson. As usual there was a big turnout of beautiful British cars representing all the famous brands. The event is organised by the MG Car Club with proceeds being donated to the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute.
There were 4 different Capris present: a white 1600 Deluxe, my white 1600 XL, a peppermint green V6 & a rare Daytona yellow RS3100. We parked beside the British Small Ford Club which had a really good display of Cortinas & Escorts.
Just down the row was the largest display of Loti or Lotuses I have ever seen. There were some beautiful cars & the photos show this. The Rollers & the Jags line up down on the second oval and have their own picnics. Here we saw a 1922 Rolls Royce that had 3 exterior levers. The gear shift & the hand brake were obvious but what was the third lever for? The owner explained it was to dip the massive headlights! A first for me!
You name the British makes & they were all there: Land Rover, Bentley, Jaguar, Vauxhall, Morgan, Austin, Morris, Mini, Jowett, Rover, Zephyr, MG, Alvis, Scimitar, Sunbeam, Singer, Hillman, Humber, Triumph, Jensen, Aston Martin & even a McLaren.
