Originally conceived in 1982 as a casual country drive followed by a picnic lunch for member families of area British car clubs, British Car Field Day (BCFD) has evolved over the past 40 years to be the place for British car and motorcycle owners to showcase any and all road vehicles built in England!
Today, BCFD hosts over 200 British vehicles placed in 25 classes. Voting is performed by each registered owner which are provided a ballot as part of their registration. Awards are provided up to first, second and third place, depending on class size. Also included are “Best of Show” and “Diamond in the Rough”. A “People’s Choice” award goes to the vehicle with the most votes from our walk-in patrons.
Proceeds from BCFD benefit Children’s Hospital and Boy Scouts of America. In 2023, BCFD has also added a contribution of $500 to an area High School auto tech class for tools and supplies. BCFD Committee members also hold a tech session with students of the tech class describing the care and maintenance of these Little British Cars. We hope that exposure to these cars inspire students to learn more about collector cars and include their maintenance and repair in their future skill base.
