👑 Annual British Car Meet
321 Hopeland St., Dayton
The 18th annual British Car Meet slated Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of the British Transportation Museum in Dayton occurs just in time to crown the new king.
Roughly 100 British cars will be showcased and judged for prizes. Food will be available as well. Admission to the car meet is free.
“Our annual event is being held on the same day, May 6, as the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace,” said Pete Stroble, museum president. “This means that spectators will get to see which British cars are most prizeworthy on the same day of the ceremony marking the formal investiture of the United Kingdom’s 40th monarch.”
