A double-decker London bus that toured Canada to promote the 1967 Sydney Poitier film 鈥楾o Sir With Love鈥� will be among the vehicles on display on Sunday, April 24 in Fort 91原创.

It will be the first St. George鈥檚 Show 91原创 by the 91原创 Area Mostly British Motoring Club () since the pandemic hit.

LAMB member Martin Ross said the bus was purchased by a collector after it was brought over from Britain to advertise the Columbia Pictures production featuring .

Ross, a LAMB member for 20 years, will be bringing his Morris Minor 1000, decked out as a police car, with him in uniform as a British 鈥淏obby.鈥� Police officers in London, England, acquired the nickname after Sir Robert Peel, who set up the first organised police service in 1829 with permanently appointed and paid constables.

鈥淚鈥檝e got some [police] paraphernalia that I鈥檝e picked up over the years,鈥� Ross said.

He owned his first Morris when he was 16, Ross told the 91原创 Advance Times.

鈥淚t was kind of a British family car鈥� that was also used by police for street patrols.

Like most LAMB members, Ross has spent the two years of the pandemic doing 鈥渁 little bit of puttering鈥� on his car.

This year, the number of vehicles had to be trimmed from the usual 85, to 60, because there was less space at the hall.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e doing some work on the grounds,鈥� Ross explained.

Classic cars will be on display April 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fort 91原创 heritage hall at 9167 Glover Road.

St. George is the patron saint of England and LAMB tries to hold its annual car show as close as possible to April 23, the day that pays tribute to him.
