cylinder sleeving), British Auto Sport in Troy, ON (fifth largest Moss distributor in Canada), and a near miss with MacGregor British Car Parts in Dundas, ON (may get back there later).
We spent an evening with Jeff Sutcliffe in Burlington, ON who has a very nice MGA, restore with a lot of references to my web site.

On the 23rd we had a small British car display at Tufford Manor Retirement Home in St. Catharines, ON, presented by presented by Niagara British Car Club. Here we got a closer look inside the Austin A95 Westminster before heading out for lunch with the club folks.
On the 24th we had a short tour in the rain with several cars from British Sports Car Club (Ontario) beginning in Stoney Creek

Barbecue with vintage cars, trucks, tractors

and ending at the farm of a club member near Ancaster, ON. Despite significant rain, they turned out 50 people for a club barbecue. Here we had the opportunity to ogle a collection of vintage cars and trucks and farm machinery while we stuffed ourselves silly and kicked tires and chatted about vintage British cars all afternoon.
Short on time and late with this report, on Monday the 25th I had a quick side trip to visit Colin Tyrell in Brantford, ON. He has a "polished turd" daily driver MG ZB Magnette (nice patina actually), a beautiful MGA 1500, a restored MG TD, and a Miata hiding in the mix. Back to Wi-Fi for rest of the day to bring you these photos and notes. Rest assured, we are not finished yet, laying plans to do most of eastern Canada in the next three months.
