Pride of Longbridge 2011, More Rovers the better!

[Roverguest]

Hi, last year I was rather disappointed being my first visit to the event that there was a real lack of pre 1970 Rovers. ie: P4, P5 & P6, although luckily we had a small selection of SD1s I hope to improve this year.

I know not all were built at Longbridge, but I feel the event is much more than Longbridge, but all MG, Austin and Rover as a whole were.

If it was built at Longbridge it's allowed, if it's any form of MG or Rover, perhaps not built a Longbridge it's allowed.

So I am here to drum up some P6s for the event. I realise it may be a little late notice but I really hope say 3-4 could turn up, 6-8 would be GREAT!

So, here is my thread, including photos of last year.


Saturday 16th April 2011.

Right, I know its a few month off yet, but we can use this thread to get names down and sort any plans like convoys out.

ALL MG ROVERS WELCOME. ANY AGE. Basically anything with any relation to Longbridge!

It is like a pilgrimage for all enthusiast MGR owners, one guy last year came from Cornwall in a 998cc Metro. So if he can do it- you can! I went from SE London!

we will be taking a selection of sd1s again this year, so if anybody fancies taking a p6 along please come and park with us

Ah good. I love the later type V8 Vittesse models, they are the nicest for me.

I hope we have a good selection of older Rovers.

 

[Roverguest]

Any one coming along?


Be good to get a few Rover P cars in attendance! Love those old things.

Unfortunately PAE isnt back on the road yet... next year it should be a possibility!

Ah, what a shame. Well if you know any Rover P owners in another club or anything, ask if they want to come. Really would be good to get a few. I remember there was a P5 last year, shame it was the only one.

Sadly, I won't be going as I've other plans for this weekend
