All British car show in St.Louis Sept 19th.

The local British car guys had a show saturday, and had a great turnout of about 125 cars. I entered my Ultralite along with the guys from STALLS ( St. Louis Lotus Lovers) the local Lotus Ltd affiliate.

 

The Loti included two Esprits, two Exiege's (one a limited edition S260 Sport) an Elan, a Caterham, my Ultralite and two 11's, one a Westfield, and the other an original Lotus 11. It was recently purchased by Charile Van Dyke, and it is absolutely beautiful, and in fantastic condition.

Here's a shot of the group, and a few of Charlie's car , which took first place in the Lotus class. I was lusting for that green 11.

 

I also included a shot of a 1959 Berkeley with a 500cc Enfield. I had seen the car before at the Monterey Historics and it turns out the owner has moved to St.Louis, and has raced the Berkeley at Monterey and in Europe. I once had a Berkeley, but it had the 3 cyl Excelsior two stroke motorcycle engine, not as fast as the enfield models. There were so few Berkeleys that I never thought I would see one again.

Hey, Jerry;

Can you tell me if the guy pictured in the last photo with the yellow Berkeley is by chance Jamie Pfeiffer from Santa Barbara, Ca? Jamie's been a Berkeley gearhead all the years I've known him. Every year I used to go to the Monterey Historics, Jamie was there racing one of his machines. The photo really looks like him after my not having seen him for at least 10 years. If so, I'll definitely try to reconnect with him. Great guy and lots of fun.

Yes that is Jamie Pfeifer, still campaining the same Berkeley.
