Once again lovers of British Cars spent the day in a festival of feasting, celebration, and merrymaking at the British Car Union’s 25th Annual Chicagoland British Car Festival.

Melissa Perez and Penny L’Heureux staffing the CMGC booth. Numerous club regalia items were for sale.

The gathering of British car vehicles, owners, and enthusiasts were invited to this “come as you are” event featuring over 20 national and local vendors, a Peoples Choice car judging, door prizes for pre-registrants, and great food. It was a meet, greet, and ogle time, a celebration - not a show.

The weekend of events started with the running of the Donald M. Healey Rally on Saturday, September 10th. Seven cars competed for trophies with our own club member Bill Cantrall taking 1st place.
