by Admin Orders for our custom high quality grille badges have exceeded expectations once again - thanks to all those who have placed an order. We will place our bulk order with the manufacturer right after this weekend, then expect something in the order of a 6-8 week wait until we have them ready to send out to you all. If you haven't ordered yet, this really is your final chance - don't say you weren't warned! Order now - offer closes midnight GMT Saturday July 11by Admin Enthusiasts of British Motor Vehicles are proud to offer a 3rd production run of our custom-designed grille / bar badges featuring the group logo. We are accepting orders from now until Midnight Saturday 11 July - our order will then be placed with the manufacturer and we anticipate receiving the finished badges ready to despatch to you approximately 7-9 weeks after that, so around mid September - but hopefully sooner. It's a pleasure to see old-school craftsmanship still alive and well in the UK. Each badge comes with a 7 year anti-tarnish guarantee. I own one of the very first badges made for us. It is now 3 years old, lives outside in all weathers and still looks as good as new. It even survived a car fire earlier this year that destroyed my car! Order now - offer closes 11 July. Free Group car sticker with every badge!100% OF PROFITS FROM EACH SALE WILL BE DONATED TO NHS CHARITIES TOGETHER | COVID-19 APPEAL

by Paul Sweeney I recently found that News items and Blogs were not easy to find or navigate on our official website when using a mobile device (smartphone or tablet). The navigation bar I'm used to seeing down the right-hand side of the page on my desktop computer just isnt there on mobile devices, as I discovered only this week. Since quite a high proportion of you access our website via mobile, I've just made some design changes to add a search function and some filters at the top of those pages (see preview below). There are some great members' blogs going all the way back to 2015 which are now easily found either by date, by the author's name or simply by searching. Please take a look and let me know how it works for you - I hope it will encourage many more of you to dig around and enjoy all the good stuff that's there :-).
by Admin Now that you have some time on your hands, take a little quiet time to explore our official group website - it's packed with photo galleries from events over the last few years, plus dozens of members' blogs, news and much more to enjoy. Just click here for the Home page and work your way out from there! If any of you is feeling the urge to write a blog, anything to do with owning, driving, restoring or just admiring pre-85 British motors is welcome - please click on the link below and get scribing; we'd love to hear from you! You don't have to be the next Shakespeare - passion/enthusiasm/knowledge for our shared hobby is all that's needed.

Click on the image below to view. We invited offers of British classics to exhibit on our club stand at this year's Lancaster Classic Motor Show with Discovery and you didn't disappoint! More than 20 fantastic motors were offered by their proud owners and it's no word of a lie to say we would have been proud to display all of them - but of course we have to work with the space we have been allocated by the show organisers which has room for just 5 cars, so some very difficult choices have had to be made. So firstly, the Admin team wants to say a very big thank you to everyone who took part - we really do appreciate it and wish we could have taken every motor put forward. Please try again next time.

This will be the 3rd year running we have done both this show and the Restoration show at the same venue and is a testament to this excellent group and it's enthusiastic members. We will be in Hall 5, stand 570. In the coming weeks we will be inviting members to submit their cars for consideration of a display space at the show; we want all types of pre 85 British vehicles in excellent condition. by Admin We asked for your classics to display at the Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show with Discovery at the NEC this March, and you didnt disappoint us! Quite a number of members were willing to make the considerable commitment to support us over the 3 days at the show and offered some very special motors indeed. First and foremost - a very big and genuine thanks from the Admin team and particularly from Events Guru Gar for all the offers. We really do appreciate it - if we could, we would take every motor you offered, but of course the stand can only accommodate so many, so the sad part of all this is that we have to disappoint some of you. Please try again next time - everything offered was eminently suitable and would have done us proud. Our selection approach was to go for the exhibits we think are most likely to attract the interest of the show-going public and to show the club in the best possible light. Secondly we felt it would be preferable to display motors we havent had on our stand before. So after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, here they are ... The confirmed line-up for our stand (in no particular order):
How to find our stand at the showEasy! Hall 5, beside the Sporting Bears Dream Rides Arena.
