2006 Event

The British Car Club of Western North Carolina's Autumn in the Mountains - A British Car Gathering, took place on October 15th at Chimney Rock Park, Bat Cave, NC. Many gathered in the early morning chill at what was the beginning of a beautiful Fall day. People were there to talk with other car owners and to see a magnificent display of British cars. No one was disappointed as almost 100 cars were driven onto The Meadows in a fine showing of both classic and modern day British engineering. Cars of every type from Jaguar XKE roadsters to Austin Healeys to Morgans to Triumphs to modern day MINIs were represented on the field. At the end of the day some owners took home trophies but all the cars were winners as there wasn't one present that wasn't a beauty!

Autumn in the Mountains Sponsor

Century MINI of Greenville, South Carolina was the show sponsor and the British Car Club of Western North Carolina would like to thank them. The show would not have been as successful without them. The three MINI Coopers Century MINI sent to the show were admired by all.

Car Show

The event is People's Choice and the participants did a fine job of picking winners in over 25 categories of British cars.

Eddie Saunders in car #71, a 1963 silver Jaguar MK 2, was voted "Best of Show" for Autumn in the Mountains 2006. It is a beautiful car calling up visions of elegant days gone-by with its display of champagne for two set up on the fold-out tables in the back seat.
