Northern shows 2026

Blimey I'm working round that way for two days and visiting there tomorrow afternoon on my way to Eskdale from Grosmont where I'm staying for a night, next night I'm in Ulverston and visiting the Lauren & Hardy Museum.
Then going down to Wigan/Bolton to do a couple of jobs there on Saturday before going home.
But I will be in my MGZT260 so not a Montego/Maestro

Is that still going! I have fond memories of visiting there as a child in the 90's. Absolutely loved it, parents couldn't get me out of there.

Yes it is. Been wanting to go there for a few years but never had the time while working near there

Some pictures from today's show at Ryhope, decent weather, free entry, decent catering and plenty to look at in the museum, as usual a great day out to start the season.

A very good photo for comparing Maestro versus Montego front end, bonnet line, front wing!

Some pictures from the Milton Keynes show on Sunday, quite a good turn out, a total of 23 Maestro/Montegos, including 4 vans, 4 estates, two saloons and a variety of different Maestros, from 1.3 base to MG Turbo

And a few more...

[Morris Montego]

Wow!!! - what a fantastic turn out!

[Morris Montego]

......I'm starting to think "I'd like a Maestro van"

I could perhaps "A-Team" it a fraction , make it stand out beyond it's rarity, history. They are an attractive van I think

[Doctordiesel77]

Wow!!! - what a fantastic turn out!

Yes, it is always a good show, but I think this year was the best Maestro/Montego turn out that I've seen. The fact that all four vans were in different period livery and looked like new was the icing on the cake, they are good vans. I drove mine to Barcelona & used very little fuel on the way, despite going over, rather than under, the Pyrenees...

That's impressive!!

[The Professor]

I saw a yellow BT van at the Beaulieu autojumble and spoke with Matt (if i remember correctly) from Bristol way. He showed me pictures of his facelifted white Mg Montego Turbo which he fitted many pre facelift bits. Looked very nice and impressive the work he undertook.

Nice leg stretch for VP. About 460 miles over the weekend..great turnout and nice chatting to some new people as well as the usual suspects

The next show is coming up on Sunday at Ryhope Engines Museum. Plan is to meet up at Bradbury services, just east of A1(M) junction 60 on the A689 to Hartlepool at about 7.30, then drive up to Ryhope. If we know who is coming we are much more likely to wait until you arrive! This is the google picture of the services, which may make it easier to find, the turn in is just before the services. https://www.google.com/maps/@54.6504...oASAFQAw%3D%3D

I won't be showing so there's no need to wait for me. But we will be coming up later to have a look around before going to Seaham for some fish and chips. Be the last ride out for the coupe for the year. The long range weather is looking rather windy mind. Just like it was for the opening show in April. How strange. Hope it doesn't put to many off.

See you there, hopefully the weather will be better than forecast!
