Richard Roberts, of Whitehorse has a collection of 12 British vehicles ranging in age from a 50 Morris Minor to a 76 Triumph TR6. His latest acquisition is a 65 Land Rover Series 2 109.
There are Brit cars here, and some visiting. From groups travelling from Panama to Anchorage this past summer (2008), and an Aston Martin DB4 tootling up the Alaska Highway accompanied by a few Jag XK140s.
Richard is going to send in pictures when he comes across something interesting

British cars were sold here as shown in a couple ads from the Whitehorse Star of April 1964. The Austin ad is a postcard ad from Toronto.
The papers were found many years ago when I was wandering around in the bush and came across an abandoned cabin, roof collapsed with the papers inside.
As a resident of Toronto in the 1960's all the dealers mentioned were familiar to me, especially Kovac Motors on Liard Drive as I worked at the CIBC branch on the opposite corner.
Just up the street was Comstock Construction. Those of you of a certain age will remember them being heavily involved with Ford racing and rallying programs using American and English Ford products.
