This may be the saddest car-related video I’ve ever seen.

Jaguar C-Type replicar (top two photos), D-Type replicar, and a sad-looking MGTD replicar.

Photos taken at British Car Day.

British Car Day at Larz Anderson almost never disappoints (in my opinion), and there was a pretty wide variety of cars. Here’s a few of my favorites after the break, and I’ll be posting more over the next few days.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Bass Pro Shops Cruise Night. On the one hand, the show is huge and has the widest variety of cars out of any show I’ve been to, from completely stock antiques, hot rods, muscle cars, kit cars and the like, to vintage imports, newer imports and modern muscle and specialty cars. On the other hand, it’s a very difficult show to photograph for several reasons: the cars are parked in normal-sized parking spots arranged in an east-west orientation, so the car is either backlit or has the full force of the sun (and your shadow) cast on it, depending on which way it’s facing. Some cars are impossible to photograph, simply because of where they’re parked and the orientation of the sun. To make matters worse, it’s usually very hot there (it’s all asphalt that has spent the day soaking up the sun’s heat) and mobbed with people, which adds another layer of difficulty to photographing the cars.

Since there’s so many cars at the show, I can’t photograph them all, so I try to pick and choose the ones I find the most unique or interesting. Some of my favorites are after the cut, and I’ll be posting more over the next few days.

As usual, I’m incredibly behind on my car and bike show posts. MG day was fun, but it was much smaller than I was expecting, given past events. There was a nice assortment of MGs, but there weren’t any prewar models, and also no MGCs or MGC-GTs, or MGA Twin Cams, or even an MGRV8. I was happy to see a Magnette though and an MGA coupe, among some other nice examples:

This is an MGB with a Rover V8 conversion. This car was really well done, but I wasn’t a fan of the wheels or the seats. There was another V8 conversion there, with a small block Chevy V8.

A Magnette. This one looks better in photos than it did in person. It was in fair condition, but at least it’s still on the road. There’s so few of these cars left, especially here in the US.

A beautiful MGA coupe. I like the coupes a lot.

A cool MGB-GT

A nice Midget

A TF, my favorite model in the T-series.

Beautiful MGA interior. I love the silver/red combo.

And a gorgeous Jaguar XKE MK1 crashed the party.

As always, you can see many more photos from the show here.
