I attended this show as a guest of the Historic Marathon Rally Group. The BMC & Leyland Show, held in the grounds of the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, Warwickshire, has become a regular fixture on the Classic Car shows calendar. Good weather ensured that there was a good turnout of both exhibitors and visitors to this year’s event. I thoroughly enjoyed myself photographing some outstanding and historic cars and chatting to some of the owners.
As most readers know, BMC and its successor, British Leyland, encompassed many different British marques which had been born in the early years of the twentieth century. The (British) Daimler and Lanchester motor companies were amongst the founding members of the British Motor Industry. These two marques came, in 1968, to British Leyland via British Motor Holdings the name given to the entity that had added the Jaguar Group, owners of Daimler and Lanchester, to the BMC empire. It was great to see examples from these illustrious companies on display at this show.
Here are some photographs of cars which particularly caught my eye –

That’s all folks! I hope that you have enjoyed looking at the photos.
