(Lewes,Del.)-For the first time the annual Lewes British Motorcar Show took place at the Cape May- Lewes Ferry. There were more than fifty motorcars at the event on Saturday.
"We are here in Lewes, where the British came for the war of 1812 and we said the British are coming again but this time it is British cars,"said Mike Tyler.
The event has been around for 21 years and Tyler has been the Chairman. The bad weather on Saturday was not going to cancel the Motorcar Show.
"This is a rain or shine event so some of these cars have never been rained on before in a car show,"said Mike Tyler.
Robert Cecil from Lewes has been attending the car show for several years.
"I think it is a great event and another great venue here at the Lewes Ferry,"said Cecil."I think it is a great place to have a great event like this."
There were prizes in 8 different categories. Cecil won the featured Marque Award.
"This year they are featuring the X-L-S Jaguar so I decided to bring the 2000 jag this year,"said Cecil.
This year's best of show prize went to Seaford's Tod Emeigh with his 1955 Austin Healey.
Emeigh said he is honored to win the award and will be back next year at the Lewes British Motorcar Show.
