This year I managed to attend the All British Field Meet held in the lovely Botanical Gardens in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This year was their 25th anniversary a banner year for cars attending (over 600). Attendance was quite impressive as well. The honored marques where British Fords and Jaguar E-Types.

The best thing about the show is all the fantastic British saloons like this lovely 1956 Austin Westminster A90 with two tone paint.

Fantastic 1959 Sunbeam Rapier with a neat trailer. Velocette service is written on the trailer so he must a be bike fan as well. (Velocette was a British motorbike manufacturer)

Very nice - thanks for sharing! :)
That Aston is to die for! :drool:
What were you doing in Vancouver? How far away from Lethbridge is that? I could look it up myself but I am far too lazy for that..... :-[
Do you have more photos? Would you like to collaborate with me on a slide show for Examiner.com?
And where is my all time favorite, the Humber Super Snipe!!?!?!?!? :D
Its about a 14hr drive away. We have family there so works out well.
I have more photos at this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/sets/72157624013048867/ - a few more on my hard drive as well.
No Super Snipes sadly. I haven't seen one in years.
14 hours?!?!? Geeze, that's a big time road trip. Good for you. Most people today either fly or stay home. :applause:
Sweet company. I like the Eleven. Shame it's just a replica.
Austin-Healey is also very nice.

14 hours with three kids eight and under plus the wife! We did stay in the area for a week with family.
Thanks for front page feature!
Uploaded a few more.
Some of the best cars can be in the parking like this Renault R8 Gordini outside the show. Being French it wouldn't be allowed in I suppose.

Famous half car half boat 1966 Amphicar 770 for sale outside the show.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4023/4668022466_0a82a263ea.jpg)
The prices for Amphicars are ridiculous! :o They were lousy boats and even worse cars. :-[
