Sort of... Although I have never been I hear that Hershey (PA) "import and
kit car" weekend is basically a big swap meet. They used to do regional
ones as well (I went to Bloomington, IL three different years) but that
stopped maybe ten years ago. It was mostly American Iron, but there was a
smattering of British stuff and a huge selection of shop tools and general
purpose stuff.
The Chicago MG club has a big swap meet each winter with lots of Triumph
stuff. Other than travelling to Chicago in February (not a pleasant
experience :-)) it is a nice get together and a fun break in the long winter
season.
I know several of our friends on this list actually traveled to England for
this, or a very similar get together a few years ago, before the dollar
tanked. As I recall it was put on by the national Triumphs club and have
heard stories of some fantastic bargains. Ask Fred Thomas for more details.
I too would love to see something similar, centrally located.

Subject: [TR] Is there anything like this in the USA?
Rimmer Bros sends emails to periodically, and I thought this one was
particularly interesting. It highlighted a classic car show.

Does Hemmings do something like this? We left coasters don't get much except
the typical "new car" show, or the weekend local events. Yes, we do have
Car's-n-Coffee. But it'd be fun to attend something different.
