Six Spitfires and one GT6 were present at the Panhandle British Car Association's 10th Annual British Car Beach Bash held at Pensacola Beach, Florida. The Spitfire/GT6 class had two more entries than last year. The total number of cars appearing at our show also increased to 119 cars in 24 classes which is our largest gathering yet! Our show site is next to the white sand beaches of Santa Rosa Island overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Our next show is scheduled for April 26, 2003.
