Twenty First Annual All British Swap Meet and Autojumble
DuPage County Fairgrounds 2015 Manchester Rd, Wheaton, IL, United StatesThis meet is intended for all marques of British cars. This is not a car show.

The 21st meet promises to be the best yet! It has become a regional event! The site is an indoor heated facility that is centrally located in the Chicago area. Last year over 800 buyers attended, and the vendor spaces were nearly sold out. This event has had strong support from all of the British car clubs in the Chicago area, and this year looks to be bigger than ever before.
