History
The WPTA was formed in 1977 by Ed Major and Ed Woods. Its original goal was the preservation, restoration and enjoyment of the Triumph TR2 and TR3 automobiles. Over the years the WPTA has opened its membership to all Triumphs, including the very last models imported to the US in 1981 - the TR8 and Spitfire. The WPTA currently boasts over 200 members, many of whom own British cars other than Triumphs but still enjoy the many activities of the WPTA.
British Car Day is the largest annual British-only car show in Pennsylvania whose proceeds have always been contributed to charity. The event was held at Hartwood Acres from 1981 to 1986. In joining the Grand Prix in 1987, an immediate synergy was evident. That relationship has continued to be a huge success with each event complimenting the other.
Over the years, British Car Day has enjoyed continued growth and popularity, becoming one of the major attractions of the PVGPweekend at Schenley Park. Participants come from as far away as Michigan, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida and Canada. Over $106,000 Donated It is the unique character of this event that allows it to continually attract such a large and diverse congregation of vehicles and owners. The attractive and scenic setting of Schenley Park Golf Course, the relaxed atmosphere, and its proximity to a race featuring vehicles of similar heritage, all combine to attract a wide range of entrants. Participation of this scale, in combination with in spirit donations of many entrants, has allowed British Car Day to directly contribute more than $106,000 to our charities. The Grand Prix is grateful to the WPTA for their immense contributions to help establish and grow our International Car Show.
