Saturday, September 19th in Historic Ocean Grove, NJ We've moved from hot and rainy July to cooler (and hopefully drier) September, and traded in the parking lot at Georgian Court University for Main Ave. in Historic Ocean Grove, with it's Victorian architecture and variety of restaurants, cafe's, antique shops and other attractions. This is the British Car Show your wife will actually want to come to! In addition to the cars, we'll also have music and a plethora of door prizes. Judging is by participant's choice in classes by marque and model. We're so chuffed about our new location that we've rolled back our pre-registration fee to just $10 ($15 day of show) to attract more British Car enthusiasts and encourage them to register early. Pre registration ends Sept 5th, so time is short. Go to www.pedc.org for a registration form.

Some of this stuff is British publications I collected - Triumph over Triumph (published by Ken Richardson's son Paul). There are 6 of these, they have many articles regarding OLD 30's 40's 50's Triumph stuff, including the development of the Works racing teams etc. Some other British stuff and some US publications. Most items were published in the 1990's. Also there are a couple of Triumph books, I am sure all are still in print, but you can pick these up at a reasonable cost and everything is in VERY GOOD condition. (Except the Haynes manual which is in fair condition, but very usable) Anyway - check EBAY under advanced search look for items being sold by GBSimcoe. I hate to sell off this collection, but I am preparing to move and need to scale back. Thanks, Joe Simcoe
