CBCF - Champagne British Car Festival

The CBCF Experience!

In 2021 the US was just coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Champagne British Car Festival was READY to welcome British car owners from throughout the mid-west.

CBCF 2021 was a “NO” Event – No registration, no fees, no awards, no classes, no voting, etc. etc. You’ll notice in the video that cars could group in traditional classes or in more informal groupings.

It was all about the CELEBRATION of our love of British cars and sharing them with others.

We hope to see you in 2022 http://www.CBCF-Bloomington.com
