The Bristol Hidden Highway Road Tour
9:00AM
By popular demand the Hidden Highway Road Tour will be offered once again as the kickoff event of the 2018 British Motorcar Festival Weekend.
For 2018, the Hidden Highway Road Tour will charter a route that will take in Tiverton and Portsmouth, RI and Westport, MA. The tour will include lunch, including wine service at a local vineyard. This will be a pre-registered ONLY event, so that we can plan for lunch, and produce the needed collateral materials to include personalized name badges and windscreen car cards, lunch tickets, and order tour completion ribbons for the entrants. Each entry will receive route driving instructions, drivers meeting protocols, interesting site specific flyers, Touring Paraphernalia including a commemorative Tour License Plate, and options for post luncheon activities. Tour Members will depart from the Bristol Town Beach Parking Lot in Colt State Park at 9:00 AM on Friday, June 8th. We will need to cap the number of cars on tour so please do register early.
