Ingenuity in design and engineering due to a lack of R&D money?
Here is the definitive answer Wayne,
2. A vehicle entered for display at All British Day – Brisbane shall comply with any of thefollowing criteria:
A. Built in the UK by a UK based company
B. Built in the UK by a non-UK based company either in their own factory or anothermanufacturers factory
C. Partially built in the UK and exported to another country for completion usingadditional components sourced from either the UK or the importing country
D. Built in the UK in kit form (CKD) and exported to another country for assemblyusing all UK sourced components or some components sourced from theimporting country
E. Designed in the UK by a UK origin company but built in another country
F. Designed and built in another country by a subsidiary of a UK based company
G. A subsequent version, of a UK designed and or built vehicle, designed and builtin another country
H. Designed and/or built in another country by a company now owning a companythat was originally UK based and/or owned.
This is from the All British Day Brisbane 2017 website under Rules.
According to their rules the Volvo P1800 should be allowed in, or at least the early ones, which were built by Jensen, under part B. I believe my Father in law had this argument with the organisers years ago, when he wanted to display his P1800, so things haven't changed much.
Cheers,
Mick.
Hi Mick, This was a few years back when ABD was held at the Wool-shed. The Rover Car Club were running the day for the RR Club & they had the final word. I was in charge of the crew on the day & put up an argument for him with the RR Club but they wouldn't budge . It would seam that the rules are a little different now . Did you see the Pink Falcon on the British Ford display. I was talking to a friend who was on organizing the day , he wasn't happy & wanted to know how it had got in.

So does that mean that a Tata built in India could get into the All British Day under H because Tata owns JLR, a British company?
Also, Tata Steel UK is a British company.

But if you had 1/2 dozen members arrive is "other" cars ...... Is it the end of the world ?Quote:

Yes Wayne, it would have been the early nineties I believe, he didn't miss out completely, he was still able to show his Game. I wonder if the rules have been written since then, I don't think they could turn him away now if he referred to their rules. Yes I saw the pink chook tin, I am not sure what sub clause that came under, maybe someone put a Pommy motor in it. It was hideous.Quote:
