Well here goes - if you notice anything odd about models, e.g. especially the
Jaguars, like MKs, please let me know if the year syncs up with another model -
i.e. if you really know the marque.  The data is from the registration cards
submitted by the car owners - ? means that they either don't know or just
forgot to enter the data on the card.

Number British Cars in attendance = ~215+
Note: 4 MGs arrived after registration was closed
      and had traveled about 4 hours to arrive
      I think we allowed them to register @$5/car
      Plus, there were more cars that arrived later!
      We were out of registration material
      We had only planned for 200 registrations

      By comparison, last year we had 155 cars

Two new British Car Clubs joined us this year to
help sponsor the meet, making a total of 8 clubs.

Number/disqualified for casual
concours due to not returning
registration card       -    16
