The Southwest Idaho All British Field Meet 2018\u00a0<\/b>filled the Village at Meridian last Sunday with 107 classic British cars and 4 motocycles. From Mini Cooper to Rolls-Royce, MG to Lotus; and Austin-Healey to Triumph, the cars showed love and care from their owners and welcomed a large crowd to see them. On a picture-perfect day, the crowd got a chance to admire some of the most famous marques to ever come out of Great Britian. From as far as Portland, Oregon; Roy, Utah; Everett, Washington and Reno, Nevada the cars showed up. Of course, Idaho was well represented with plenty of cars from Boise, Meridian, Star, Nampa, Caldwell and Fruitland.<\/p>\n

Plenty of trophies covering 18 classes of British automobiles were given out by the club members of the\u00a0Idaho British Car Club<\/a>.\u00a0Both the\u00a0People’s Choice Award <\/i>and the Best in Show Award <\/i>went to Mike Cady for his beautiful 1954 Jaguar XK120 Coupe.<\/p>\n

There was even\u00a0a one of a kind car at the show, a 1949 Oxford Taxi, complete with meter and luggage. A great turnout was made by owners of two classic car companies, with a great showing of Triumph and Morgan automobiles. With many of the hoods up, guests got to see the engine compartments of many of these classic cars.<\/p>\n

The Southwest Idaho All British Field Meet 2018, which benefitted the\u00a0Meridian Food Bank<\/a>, also gave everyone to enjoy some Beatles music as West Abbey Road played.\u00a0West Abbey Road<\/a>\u00a0was a hit at the 2017 show<\/a>\u00a0and again had the crowd moving and dancing to classic tunes from the Fab Four. All in all, it was much nicer to see the cars on a sunny day at the Village at Meridian, in Idaho than on A\u00a0<\/i>Foggy Day in London Town<\/i><\/a>. Whether a Jaguar or a Morris Minor, there were certainly some great examples of British automotive engineering at the Southwest Idaho All British Field Meet 2018.<\/p>\n
