Sneed and Marque left early as judging was to begin at 0930. I arrived a bit past 10 driving my Datsun and brought folding chairs. Two other members of the RROC brought their vehicles. All in all in the British Luxury class there were 2 Bentleys and 3 Rolls. One member brought his family's Vintage Bentley, a separate class. The expo was hosted by the MG Club this year, thus the overabundance of MGs competing along with lots of Triumphs, some Jags, a few Lotus', a singular Allard. All in all, about 60 cars showed which viewed in perspective was about all that could have been displayed in the limited area.
Sneed took a quick trip to Post Oak Motors, Houston's RR/B dealer as Bentley Crewe from England is touring the country with over 1,000 vintage parts giving RR/B owners a chance to obtain 'hard to find' parts as well as accessories for their motorcars. He returned after 2 hours not having found anything he could use.
A short hour later, the Judging results were announced. Marque garnered another First Place in his class.
