RICHMOND, Virginia (June 15, 2005) The Central Virginia British Car Club has
announced "A Tour of Europe" will be its theme for the 21st annual Richmond
British Car Days.

In addition to the gorgeous British cars on the field, this year we will be
crossing the channel for our feature marque of classic European cars. This
amazing display will include Mercedes, BMW, Porche, Fiat, Ferrari, Citron,
and Maserati.

"We have chosen to feature the European Cars because of their impact in the
US automotive market throughout the years", said Bruce Woodson, Event
Chairman. "We are excited about having the rest of the European cars
displayed alongside the British cars for the first time in our twenty year
history".

The highlight of the annual two-day event in Richmond, Virginia will be the
car show on Sunday, September 18th from 9am to 4pm. Some three hundred cars
and motorcycles will be on display at Brown’s Island, overlooking the James
River. "The show combines the scenic location of the Island on the James
with the backdrop of the skyline of Richmond. It is an opportunity to view
fine examples of automotive and motorcycle style, performance and history"
said Woodson.

Car show participants will enjoy a variety of events on Saturday, designed
to showcase Richmond’s cultural landmarks with an opportunity to display
their cars. The Crowne Plaza Hotel Richmond, located at 555 East Canal
Street, will serve as the gathering point for Saturday’s activities. Hotel
reservations may be made directly with the Crowne Plaza.

Entry of vehicles will be PRE-REGISTRATION ONLY!! The cost will be $20 per
vehicle and entries will close Sept. 1st. Spectator admission for the show
on Sunday is $5 for adults, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to
charity.
