It was an Austin Healey rally, but some other makes were invited to take part as well, as with this Jaguar.

The J-150 drew a young onlooker….

… who was invited to take a seat inside. Nevermind that red interior, it was the flap near the front tires that held his attention. The car’s owner, Stephen Duncombe of Bridgeton, says that flap – found on either side – was the only ‘air conditioning’ the car had. In theory, it would draw in air from the outside as the car zipped along. But a NC summer is a tougher test than a drive in England. Stephen says it gets hot driving the car.

The MG, was represented by this even more vintage model, the MG TB.

Melanie Fluharty, of Merritt checks out the MG-TB, a model that she says her parents had. That car, she says, was why she wanted to learn to drive.

Lotus Position. A Caterham belonging to Rodney and Kip Nicholas of Oriental. In the early 60’s, Lotus stopped making the car. The company’s employees bought the rights to and turned them out in a factory in Caterham, Surry, England, from which the car takes its name.

Lotus was the inspiration.

Jack Coulter’s Jaguar.
