The 9th Annual "All British Car Swap Meet & Autojumble" will be held on
February 27, 2005 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, IL. This
is an indoor event with approximately 100 vendor spaces in two
buildings. Hours are 8 AM to 3 PM with a $5 admission fee and free
parking. The suburban location is about 25 miles due west of Chicago,
with easy access from the Chicago area Interstate road system.
Hosted by the Chicagoland MG Club, this event has the enthusiastic
support of all the major British Car Clubs in the Chicago area; most of
these clubs have taken spaces for club use and have promoted the event
to their members resulting in a strong turnout of vendors and buyers of
parts and accessories for all types of British Cars.
Publicity has included a direct mailing to over 1,000 Chicago/midwest
area owners of British cars, as well as advertising in major
metropolitan newspapers in Chicago, Indianapolis, St Louis, Peoria, Quad
Cities, Rockford and Milwaukee. This event has been advertised in
Hemmings, Auto Restorer, Skinned Knuckles, Old Cars Weekly, and other
enthusiast publications; it now attracts the participation of British
Car enthusiasts from throughout the midwest with shoppers coming in from
all surrounding states. A list of local hotels is available upon
request.
Vendors already booked in include such well known suppliers to the
British car hobby as: Little British Car Co, British Wiring, Triple C,
TSI, Riverside Motors, University Motors, Northshore Imports, author
Burt Levy, and more.

indicated above.
