Classic Mini's at "Autumn In The Mountains"

For Classic Mini lovers today was a great day to stop in and see all the Classics that gathered for the 9th annual British Car show held in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
The Car show is known as "Autumn In The Mountains" and is one of the best places to see so many Classic Minis in one spot.

Thanks for posting these photos! This was my first time at the show and I will be back. Met many friends and saw some great cars.

Cabriopilot-

thanks for posting the photos and I'm glad you included the Morris Minor woody, too. Those are the coolest woody's! Probably not a popular comment here, but I like the styling of the Morris Minor woody much, much more than the Mini estates with tacked-on woody kits. Don't get me wrong, I'd still be very happy with the Mini version, too.

The Morris is a real sleeper-it has a late model Toyota twin cam with A/C, cruise, and I think power steering. You would never know by looking at the outside of it. Very clean car!

Wow, better yet--A Morris Minor that doesn't need a tailwind to hit 50mph! I love it.

More photos

The same Morris Minor woody came to our Columbia, SC British Car Show today and I took a few photos of the car and the engine. What a well put together car and trailer. He has liberally placed Morris, Speedwell, Lucas, and MOWOG emblems and stickers under the bonnet to confuse the unknowledgeable.......!
