Registrations will open online on February 15 through Eventbrite. After capacity registrations are reached, a wait list will be created. Last year registrations filled in 19 days. According to Betsy Reamer, executive director of the Lewes Chamber of Commerce, “The popularity of this show has continued to grow over the years and the show’s venue at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal in Lewes allows for staging 120 vehicles with the backdrop of the beautiful Delaware Bay.” Amenities at the terminal include food and beverage service at the Lewes Coffee Company and Grain on the Rocks and public restrooms.
One of the many attractions to attending this show, both as a car entrant and as a spectator, is the show’s proximity to the historic business district with its shopping (Spring Sidewalk Sale bargains!), museums and restaurants.
Four judges will be selecting the winners in each of 11 classes. There will be first, second and third place award plaques for all 11 classes as well as a Best in Show plaque award. The judges are Lewes Chamber of Commerce Board Past President Nikky Fisher, Lewes Mayor Andrew Williams, WRDE News Anchor Charlie Sokaitis and British Car Club of Delaware member Charlie O’Donnell. Dana Mason, another Car Club member, will be coordinating the judging.
The British Motorcar Show concludes at 3 p.m. with the Winners’ Circle Parade from the ferry terminal, across the drawbridge and then down Second Street. The cars will momentarily stop at Bank Street Plaza where Car Show founder Mike Tyler will be announcing the winners and the winners will be given their awards by Mayor Andrew Williams. Show admission is $5 for adults and children 12 and older (under 12 are free).
The British Motorcar Show is scheduled the same weekend as the Spring Merchants’ Sidewalk Sale in the Historic Lewes Commercial District. Their three-day sale begins Friday and ends Sunday, daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m
