TACOMA, Wash.  From the Beatles to Bond,  swinging  60s London  was a time when British fashion, music and automobiles swept across American society.  LeMay   America s Car Museum (ACM) has developed an exhibit to commemorate this cultural revolution, which will debut at the museum s grand opening on Saturday, June 2. 

 The British Invasion  display will feature some of England s most notable vehicles, including Mini, MG, Austin-Healy, Triumph, Jaguar and 007 s iconic Aston Martin.

 This exhibit celebrates that magical time when British culture exploded onto the American scene.  says Scot Keller, ACM chief marketing and communications officer.   And just for fun, there will be a nod to the Mods and Rockers and their caf  bikes that buzzed around the streets of London in the `60s.

Even the English race cars had flair, as evidenced by ACM s 1965 British Racing Green Lotus, symbolic of the period s open-wheel racing.  Donated by John and Marilyn Dimmer, this classic racer, of which only 22 were made, will be front and center in the display.
