Ever wonder who in Albuquerque was selling British cars with cheezy ads like this (complete with a grammatical error) back in the day? Mary Quirolo dug through some library archives and came up with a list of Albuquerque British car dealers along with some of their own cheezy ads.


She also found a newspaper article about an Austin A40 convertible circling the globe back in 1951, and its stop here in Albuquerque. A first person account of the trip by the driver Alan Hess is HERE , courtesy of the AustinMemories.com web site.


Welcome to the
British Automobile Owners Association
of New Mexico  
 

The BAOA is a bunch of British car enthusiasts in New Mexico. Most of us are from the Albuquerque area, but a lot of us are from Farmington, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe. And even a few from Colorado, Arizona, and Texas.

So no matter where you live in the Southwest, our club is open to owners of all marques of British motorcar.
 
Ownership of a British car is not required for membership, but the love of British vehicles and kindness toward their owners is essential.

September 25 - 27, 2026
Farmington, New Mexico

Save the Date. Our 36th annual Rendezvous will be held in Farmington, New Mexico on the last weekend of September.

It's a weekend rally where we get together with both old and new friends, for three days of dining and driving, sight seeing, a car show, and overall British car camaraderie.

You don't have to be a BAOA member to attend - all British car aficionados are welcome.

We are still in the planning phase, so check back here in the Spring of 2026 for all the details.
