Vancouver ABFM
“After two years hiatus as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are pleased to welcome HAGERTY, the world’s largest collector car insurer and automotive lifestyle brand, to partner with us as the Presenting Sponsor,” said Patrick Stewart, event co-chair. “Through their involvement, we plan to introduce some additional features at the show—a Best Club Award, in recognition of those dedicated enthusiasts who run local classic car clubs; and through the show’s Youth Judging Awards program, an award to recognize and support young people.
“The important work of car clubs and the involvement of next-generation car enthusiasts are vital to the very survival of the classic car hobby and our continued enjoyment of classic car ownership,” said Stewart. “We are thankful for HAGERTY’s support in these important ABFM programs.”
Featured marque anniversary celebrations, carried forward from 2020 & 2021, are Triumph Stag’s 50th, English Ford’s 100th, and Jaguar E-Type’s 60th anniversary.
A unique look at the future will be showcased in an ElectraClassic vehicle display, showcasing the trend of combining classic looks with modern driveability.
The restart of the Vancouver ABFM will be a day to remember, with an entertaining gathering of British-built classics, exhibitors and vendors on display on the Great Lawn of the beautiful VanDusen Garden.
“After the 2020/2021 pandemic years of cancelled events and social isolation, we are looking forward to opening the gates at VanDusen, seeing the classics roll in, and welcoming everyone to our much-cherished event,” said Joan Stewart, co-chair of Vancouver ABFM.

British By The Sea
BBTS is a popular vote, fun event, with etched glass mugs being presented as awards. For 2022, we will have 32+ Classes, displayed on our 4 acre field. We want to encourage ALL British car, truck, and motorcycle owners and enthusiasts to attend and have an enjoyable time. Whether your vehicle is in pristine condition, or a daily driver, sparkling paint and chrome or with “Barn Fresh” patina, it deserves to be part of the event and on the display field.
For this year, we have divided the Jaguar Marque into 4 separate Classes, one of which will be our Featured Marque Of The Year, the JAGUAR E-TYPE.
Come down and enjoy the day mingling with other LBC owners, talk about cars, have a picnic, a glass of wine, and also take in all that the 240 acre Harkness Memorial State Park has to offer, such as the beach, the Mansion “Eolia”, and the Gardens. The CT MG Club donates a large amount of our proceeds from BBTS to the Park to purchase plants for the West Gardens, helping to restore the “Eolia” Gardens to their original grandeur as designed by Beatrix Farrand in 1919. In addition, we provide “people power” over a few weekends to plant them.
We have selected a variety of quality food vendors to attend in order to satisfy any appetite, from coffee and pastry, hot dogs and hamburgers, lobster rolls, deli sandwiches and wood fired brick oven pizzas, to Ice Cream for dessert. You can also bring a picnic to enjoy and share “out of the boot” of your car.
The expansive lawn areas offer ample room for the display vehicles, vendors, spectator parking and a spacious area for trailer parking.
