The Lewes British Motorcar Show – The British are Coming.Again! will welcome a wide array of classic British vehicles to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal grounds from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, May 1. There is no rain date.
The Lewes Chamber of Commerce sponsors the show with assistance from the British Car Club of Delaware. The show is supported by Southern Delaware Tourism.
Some 25 years ago, Car Show Chairman Mike Tyler and the British Car Club of Delaware originated the concept of staging a British Motorcar Show in the spring to attract visitors to Lewes before the summer season goes into full swing.

Last year’s show was canceled due to COVID-19, so the show’s silver anniversary will be celebrated this year.

After more than a year of discussions, Mayor Ted Becker said the city and the bank appear to be nearing an agreement for a two-year trial.
