The Central Virginia British Car Club (CVBCC) is pleased to announce their 25th annual Richmond Classics on the James – Antique and Classic Car and Motorcycle Festival. The event will be held on historic Brown’s Island, Richmond, Virginia on Sunday, September 20, 2009. Gates will open to the public at 9:30 AM and the show continues until 3:30 PM (rain or shine). This is a pre-registration only show, and there will also be Saturday activities available for show registrants.

Last year’s event was a spectacular success with over 250 automobiles on display. This year’s featured marque will be automobiles manufactured by the MG Car Company, Ltd. In addition to the featured MGs and in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Classics on the James, we are inviting all of the past “Best in Show” winners. These wonderful automobiles will be on display in a special section of the show field. We are also excited to announce that we are expecting a large number of Ferrari automobiles. Joining the MGs, the Ferraris, and the “Best in Show” winners will be such extraordinary nameplates as: Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Bentley, AC Bristol, Nash Healey, Austin-Healey, Triumph, Mini, Morris, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Saab, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lamborghini, Pantera, and TVR.

The show combines the scenic and historic location of Brown’s Island on the James River with the equally beautiful Richmond skyline. It’s a wonderful venue to view some of the world’s most unusual and interesting automobiles while learning their history and visiting with their proud owners.

Please join us with your family and friends for the 25th Annual Classics on the James. Admission is $5.00 for adults (Children 12 and under are free). A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Sgt. Santa Foundation. Sgt. Santa will be present for the show and will present the awards at the end of the day.
