- December 7 - Barn Find Hunter Tom Cotter to Speak at Richmond Triumph Register’s December 7th Holiday Party
The Richmond Triumph Register is excited to announce that Tom Cotter, renowned Barn Find Hunter author and host of Hagerty’s Barn Find Hunter YouTube series, will be the keynote speaker at RTR’s holiday party, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, December 7th at the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum in Colonial Heights. All central Virginia classic car enthusiasts are invited to attend. In addition to dinner and Tom’s presentation, attendees will have exclusive access to the museum’s amazing collection of automobiles, trucks, tractors, and transportation memorabilia.
A well-respected author, historian, and automotive enthusiast, Tom has written numerous classic car and racing books, including ten in the bestselling Barn Find Hunter series. He has hosted more than 160 episodes of his Barn Find Hunter videos, now available on YouTube and the Hagerty website (hagerty.com/media/series/barn-find-hunter). Attendees can look forward to fascinating insights and anecdotes from Tom’s illustrious career in racing and discovering hidden classics in barns, backyards, and scrapyards. While Tom will speak about classic cars in general, his experience with British classics runs deep. He has owned, and sometimes raced, MGs, Austin Headleys, Morris Minors, among others classic marques.
Invitations to the RTR holiday party and Tom Cotter’s presentation will be extended to the Central Virginia British Car Club, the Capital Triumph Register, the Virginia Jaguar Club, the Car Club Council of Central Virginia, the Richmond Region Antique Automobile Club of America, and other area car clubs. In addition to a buffet barbeque dinner, drinks and Tom’s presentation, admission includes exclusive access to the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum’s amazing collection of automobiles, trucks, tractors, and transportation memorabilia.
