MG Saloon Day 8 July 2012

[Guest]

The ZR/ZS/ZT Register is pleased to announce that it is to team up the MG ‘M’ Group (the independent club focused on the MG Metro, Maestro and Montego) in organising this year’s MG Saloon Day. The event, established by MG ‘M’ Group, has been run annually for a number of years. This year MGSD is to be held on the 8th July at the Shuttleworth Collection, near Biggleswade, Bedfordshire (just west of the A1). The Shuttleworth Collection depicts the history of flight from the early 1900s to the 1950s. There is also a vehicle section, displaying vintage and veteran cars, motorcycles and bicycles. A special rate has been negotiated for those wishing to visit the museum in addition to attending MGSD.

As in previous years, MG Saloon Day is open to all models of MG and Rover, old or new.

The show will feature:

• Club and forum displays
• Metro 30th Anniversary Line-up
• Pride of Ownership – 5 classes for MG Z cars (ZR, ZS, ZT, Modified & Best Overall)
• Register Reglia
• Traders and Autojumble

Entry Pass (one car and driver/passenger) £7
Club Stand (includes 3 car passes) £20

Order online via www.mgmgroup.org.uk

On the Day

MGSD tickets only give you entry to the show.

I am going to this. I own four MG Saloon cars so my main problem is deciding which one to take!

Alas, I can't make it again this year.

I never take my ZT, always has to be one of the Maestros.

I never take my ZT, always has to be one of the Maestros.

That's one lesson learned from Pride of Longbridge. Never go to a show in a 75 or ZT...you're always guaranteed to see another that's identical. At least with a Maestro or Montego you are very unlikely to find a matching example. (Steve W take note)

What do you mean, SHOW? If you're trying to avoid identical cars Steve Worsley can't take his 75 HOME!

Last year you were in the ZS though.

I won't be attending this year. Too far. But I'm not complaining. For the last two years it's been under 100 miles away.

[Oli]

Indeed i did John, VP hadn't made it's return to the road at that point!

Got some lovely pictures of it next to NAV

Just weeks before it was written off , that was such a great car which i spent so much money on.

[G51 NAV]

Shame. It was a nice car.

I will be at Bromley Pageant for anyone who wants to chat to me about a MMOC stand.

Anyone setting up a stand are requested to have prepaid tickets so they can get on site before the official start.

Also, require estimated numbers for stand area before end of June.

A bit too far for me I'm afraid!

I'm going in my turbo, one of the last meetings before I mothball it for a while. I'm being followed by an MGZT260 V8, hope he can keep up

[The Express Valeter]

I intend taking the MG Montego. Hopefully it will have returned from MAPS after a stage of restoration behind the scenes!!

I know, it is fantastic, isn't it? Seeing all those Rover 75s in a stunning location, with lots of like-minded enthusiasts never far away.

My idea of motoring heaven!
