25th Annual Lewes British Motorcar Show-Cancelled

Twenty-five years is an amazing milestone for the Lewes British Motorcar Show, sponsored by the Lewes Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the British Car Club of Delaware. The show will take place on the grounds of the Lewes Ferry Terminal for the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, overlooking the Delaware Bay.

While there will be much to see at the show, visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the free shuttle service from the ferry terminal to historic downtown Lewes, home to a wonderful number of shops and restaurants.

For those that will be in the Lewes area the Friday evening before the show, please join us Friday night for a casual get together at the Ferry Terminal. Call it a pre-show, meet and great cruise in. If interested, please make sure to let us know when registering your car.

On show day Food and beverages will be available for purchase on site, courtesy of Grain On the Rocks, the new chic dining spot within the Ferry Terminal. There will be a snack buffet and $1.00 off drinks for show car registrants.

Class trophies, awarded based on popular vote by spectators, will be presented at the conclusion of the show during the traditional Winners Circle parade through historic downtown Lewes.
