Featured Car

This year we celebrate the 70 Th anniversary of the Jaguar motorcar.

In September 1935 William Lyons requested a new model name for the cars to be powered by the new overhead-valve (ohv) engine developed by William Heynes. The name jaguar, pronounced 'jag-u-er' is selected.

This year also marks the 60 Th anniversary of the formation of Jaguar Cars Ltd. On 9 April 1945 the company name is changed from S.S. Cars Ltd. to Jaguar Cars Ltd. Steele Jaguar Ltd will have a fabulous display to observe the anniversaries.

Featured Club

We recognize members of the Fredericton Area British Automobile Club (FABAC). The club was formed in 2001and boasts 144 members. The club holds regular motoring and social events and has no membership charges (how do they do it). They have an excellent web site at www.fabac.ca

New Locations

We’re coming to Summerside! Our closing ceremony on Sunday July 10 will be at the College of Piping in Summerside. You can expect great Summerside hospitality, an excellent meal and great entertainment.

We’re also going to Cavendish! There will be no shortage of space, food or fun at the Awards Banquet this year! It will be held at Rainbow Valley lobster suppers in the heart of Anne Land, Cavendish PEI.

Better activities

Be sure to bring the kids along as we feature kids activities again at the show. If you don’t have the kids to bring why not pack your clubs and enter our growing golf tournament, being held once again at breathtaking New Glasgow Golf and Country resort on Friday morning. We are refurbishing the valve cover race track and you can expect better competition this year, so ladies and gentlemen start your engines!
