Old English Car Swap Meet and Car Show April 14th

#1 Post by island dormy » Thu Apr 04, 2013 8:02 pm

Just like the title says The Old English Car Club Victoria Branch is hosting their annual swap meet and car show at Sanichton Acres. It is located on the east side of the Pat Bay Highway on the way out to the Victoria ferry terminal.
Lots of fantastic British cars and sometimes lots of parts for sale and the club also makes available (for a small fee) a hot lunch. Cost is $3.00 per person and it runs from 9:00 to 3:00 on Sunday April 14th. Usually a few Land rovers show up. Get there early for a good parking spot.

Okay it seems like 3 rovers will be departing from Tim Hortons across from the forest museum in Duncan at 8:15 am SHARP and heading down to the swap meet. (Weather permiting) Come a little earlier for Coffee if you want.
See you there. Victor 1962 Dormobile

Hi victor,

I'm planning on being there first thing. The shows poster says 10-3. I haven't brought a vehicle out here before, can you bring you vehicle out earlier?(it doesn't say anything on the old English car club page).
Either way, look forward to meeting up.

Matt

Hi Matt

It will be nice to see you again down there in Victoria. I think you can get in early just like every other car show on the Island. Every one seems to show up at 7:00 am and then start leaving even before the awards are given out. Kind of sad for the folks who come out to see the cars after lunch and half of them are gone by1:30.
We should be down by 9:30 or so.

Talk with you later Victor (Remember to bring any spare parts you need to get rid of.)

I'll be at the Timmies at 0815. A few less going than expected, but I'll be there.
