British Car Union presents BRITISH CAR FESTIVAL Sunday, September 13th Oakton Community College, Des Plaines If you have ever owned, wanted to own, or just enjoy British cars, then the British Car Festival is for you. The condition of your car is not important...but getting together is. We welcome all British cars and anyone with an interest in British motoring. Sponsored by the British Car Union, a not-for-profit organization of a dozen Chicago area British car clubs, this Festival is the 12th annual gathering of British car enthusiasts. The 1997 British Car Festival had over 880 British cars of different models and years, over two thousand people, and over $6000 in gifts, including four round-trip tickets to England donated by British Airways. The Festival features one of the finest displays of British cars in the USA. Where else will you see classic British cars ranging in age from 1928 to present, Austin, Austin-Healey, Bentley, DeLorean, Triumph, MG, Lotus, Morris, Morgan, Jaguar, Jensen-Healey, Mini-Cooper, Sunbeam, Aston Martin, Daimler, Cortina, Land-Rover, Riley, Rolls-Royce, TVR and others you've only read about. Dinner / Cocktails and Conversation Saturday, September 12th, 5PM to 7PM at the 94th. Aero Squadron 1070 S. Milwaukee Ave., Wheeling, IL. Come and meet your fellow British Car enthusiasts at the 94th Aero Squadron the evening before the festival. We will have our own private room extending onto the patio (if needed) for the early evening. Things will start when we gather for self host drinks at 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM and the restaurant promised to "lay on" the munchies for our added enjoyment. If you want to stay for dinner and place your order before 6:30 PM, you will qualify for their "Early Bird" prices which is a bargain. Donald M.
