2003 Memphis British Car & Motorcycle Fest 

Back to the Archives Page     Back to the 2003 Archives Page


Our 20th Anniversary Memphis British Car & Motorcycle Fest proved to be an opportune time to begin our new charity affiliation with Youth Villages - and showcase the event at their Memphis Boy's Town campus. The success of this event has assured that this annual event has finally found a permanent home at this wonderful location. Be sure to see the list of the trophy winners from this 20th Annual Car Fest below.

A short-lived local automotive magazine (Southern Rides) was contacted about doing an article about our show. They agreed to publish a brief article as long as our club wrote the article and provided a few photos. The article was published in the November 2003 edition of that magazine. Here is that article...
