Back in 1977 over a pint or 2 of beer, an idea was formed by the leaders of an MG Car Club Anglia Centre natter, about a car show.

This was subsequently held in the car park of the Queen Victoria Pub in Theydon Bois Essex, where the natter met. It was a success and held there until 1984 when it became to large for the pub car park, and so it moved to Blake Hall near Ongar. 2 Years later and it moved again to form an integral part of the Metropolitan Police show in Chigwell under the guidance of Dave Stonehouse. In 2006 Dave & his wife Veronica decided to move to Lincolnshire and so it looked like the Queen Victoria car show would end.

By chance a conversation in another pub (spot the common link here!) with an MGCC member and a local Rotarian revealed that they had a charity event that we could join & like the phoenix, the Queen Victoria car show rose from the ashes. The revised event was first held in Billericay on the 15th July 2007.

The Queen Victoria car show, a brief history.

The event was again organised by the Billericay & Theydon Bois Natters & held in conjunction with the Rotary Club Billericay Mayflower, at the “Funday on Sunday” in Billericay Essex, on the 18^th July 2010.

This year we were jointly sponsored by Best Insurance & British Legends Thanks to their support we were again able to make the event free to enter.

The weather forecast was for part cloud & sunshine & that is exactly what we got (I must remember to book good weather again for this year).

We had 200+ entries on the day, with vehicles ranging from MG, T Types, B's, V8's, Midgets, F/TF's & Z types. Of the non MG's we had a rare Bristol 403, Ferrari's, Jaguar’s, Pontiacs & Chevrolet’s & TVRs.

The rotary club provide a main arena with various displays including the fire service showing how to remove the top of a car in an emergency.

We had 3 slots in the main arena. The Essex Roadster's put on the first display, with a selection of MGF’s & TF’s. We were also supported by a number of local car clubs, the

Overall winner 2010 D Plum  receiving his trophy.

We had 12 classes of competition, with Concours MG &  Concours non MG being independently judged. Pride of Ownership was self judged. The 1^st in Concours & overall winner was D Plum, with an immaculately presented Red MGB Roadster.

Congratulations to D Plum & to all of our winners.

We must thank our main sponsor Mathew Best, from Best insurance who presented the winners with their trophies.

Thanks also to our Judges, Gary Mitchell & Mike Bowyer.

A big thank you to the organising team, Andrew Woods, Rhona Tynan, Clive Cox & Angelia Blaze, Robin & Marilyn Kerridge and to Adrian Clifford who took the photographs of the day.
