Beginning on Friday, May 2, 2025, and running through Sunday, May 4, the historic Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, will celebrate its deep and storied connection with the automobile industry with the eighth annual Greenbrier Concours d’Elegance, presented by Ferrari of Washington. What began in 2018 as a three-day celebration of the automobile has grown to become one of the top automotive events on the East Coast, and the iconic setting at The Greenbrier sets it apart from other concours events across the country.
​This year’s celebration includes a spirited Summit Drive, Saturday’s Cars & Cocktails, a Charitable Dinner that raises funds for the AACA Library & Research Center, First Responders Children’s Foundation and the West Virginia Autism Training Center, the popular Sunday Concours and much more. Whether you bring your favorite car to drive on West Virginia’s famous country roads or to put in front of the judges at one of our shows — or if you just want to come see these amazing vehicles in person — make plans to be a part of the weekend festivities at America’s Resort.

In 2025 we were looking for ways to avoid the scorching hot blacktop that has been a blight on our show at the High Street location. Our 2025 Show Chairman Ed Sadler began an exhaustive search of the community for a new location and came up with a spot with many shade trees in the center of the Williamsburg Premium Outlet Mall! Please refer to the attached maps of the area within the Outlet Mall.
Beside shade trees there are rest rooms, several food trucks and of course great shopping…….The Mall location checks all the boxes for a great show! Ed has negotiated a great deal for our 25th anniversary car show!
Show registration to open soon.

Picnic + Motorcycle Museum + British Car Tech Session at Mike Mutter's
2025-05-10 12:00 - 15:30 | Mike Mutter, 600 Sweibyan Dr, Earlysville, VA, 22936, United States
Michael Mutter has invited us to his beautiful home and workshop/museum on the Rivanna River near Earlysville. He admits to being more into motorcycles than cars (although he has a beautiful XK150 Drophead). Expect to see Nortons, Vincents and Velocettes among the British bikes in this private collection.
Here’s updated information from Michael:
“Please join us for a luncheon at my home at 600 Sweibyan Dr. Earlysville VA 22936 to view my collection and shop from Noon to 3:30 on Saturday May 10. I will supply pulled pork, black beans and rice, beer, wine and some form of sparkling water. Please feel free to bring an appetizer or dessert or supply your special dietary needs.
My collection is primarily motorbikes (OK, also a 1960 Jaguar XK150 DHC, hence membership in this club) with nearly two dozen British bikes from 1931 to 1972 with makes including Vincent, Velocette, Norton, Ariel and Matchless, and a number (greater than 30) of Japanese, Italian and other European bikes, as well, mostly from the 50s to 70s. I do my own mechanical and cosmetic work and will give a tour of the shop as well.
There will also be several technical demonstrations more relevant to the four wheel inclined given by Mark Lee.
I hope to see you all.
Best,
Michael Mutter”
Mark Lee is planning a brief tech session in Michael’s workshop to cover these three topics:

The inner workings of a gearbox – Mark has a dissected MGB gearbox and laid it out so that you can see precisely how power flows through the input shaft and layshaft to the gears on the output shaft, what happens when you change gears, and how synchromesh actually works.
Relays demystified – how common relays actually work (much simpler than many realize), how their wiring is virtually universal, and how you can add one to a circuit. If you don’t have a relay in your headlamp circuit, this will show you how you can add one for brighter light and reduced strain/wear on your headlight switch.
The basics of constant vacuum carburetors like SU and Zenith-Stromberg – how they actually work and how they differ from conventional venturi carbs. We’ll have an S.U. apart for reference.

Club VP Bob Lasater has put together another “Occasional Lunch Get-Together”:
“On July 26th, longtime SVBCC member Paul Wilson will give a talk/slide presentation showing the development of his metalworking skills. He began with aluminum, later found that steel worked better for his purposes. He formed the shapes over a solid buck, then wood frames, then steel rods, making body sections for a Lotus Eleven, an Amilcar, and finally several Alfa Romeos. He works with relatively simple and inexpensive equipment, similar to what French and Italian coachbuilders had when these cars were originally built.
Please RSVP By Monday, July 21 to: rlasater2274@gmail.com. I need to give the restaurant a head count – maximum of 50 people.

Cruise-In At Merrie Mill Farm & Vineyard, Keswick
2025-09-14 12:00 - 17:30 | Merrie Mill Farm & Vineyard, 594 Merrie Mill Farm, Keswick, VA, 22947, United States
A Preview Of the Merrie Mill Farms 5th Annual Vintage British Car Show by Dave Eames:
Since I have come to know Guy Pelly, an Englishman and co-owner of the Merrie Mill Farm and Vineyard, I have sponsored every one of these events since they started in 2021. Following each of these car shows, I meet with Guy and we review what went right and what could be improved. So after last year’s event I asked several of our members for their comments and two areas of improvement were noted which both related to the lack of food and music “Britishness”. I therefore recommended that Guy invites “The Pie Guy” and “Local Vocals” and this year he has managed to secure them both. Shirley and I have sampled The Pie Guy’s pies which reflect his training when he worked at a bakery in Australia (a former British Colony!) We have also seen Local Vocals on numerous occasions; they play music from the 60s & 70s and will be the best band this British car show has seen so far! Check out their website for a sample of their music.
A few days ago, Guy emailed me this flyer advertising the event. I think we, as a club, should continue spreading the word for Guy and copying it to all of our local Virginia British car clubs…I will provide an event update and a reminder in the August Newsletter.
