News from the Palace – March 2025
Good evening, everyone!
We get to spring ahead one hour on March 9th, which is reason enough for me to party. It’s been warm enough where the batteries didn’t go dead over the winter and the Spitfire started up immediately to give me that glimmer of summertime driving.
More events are planned by our Councils in the next couple of months, so be sure to check the website calendar for dates, times, and contact information.
New round grille badges featuring the BCNH Coat of Arms have been ordered, with a huge thank you to Bob Mitchell for his generous donation. I am ordering new window stickers with the Coat of Arms, and will look like the grille badges.
On a more somber note, automotive historian and author Richard Langworth CBE has passed away. If you’ve been around interesting cars in your lifetime, you’ve probably read something by him in numerous enthusiast publications. My first exposure to Richard’s writing was an issue of Car Classics magazine in 1976 that I was reading before they dropped off the bundle of Concord Monitors I was going to deliver on my paper route after school. It had a history of Kaiser- Frazer cars he had written, and his own Kaiser was on the cover. He hosted a New England Triumph event in the early nineties at his house in Hopkinton NH that I attended with my Spitfire and he was approachable and friendly. As an automotive writer, he was to me the literary version of a rock star.

Hope for rain to wash the roads of salt and a longer driving season!
As always, thanks for being part of British Cars of New Hampshire!
