LARGEST MOBILE HISTORY OF MG CARS PARADE
FROM BROOKLANDS TO BRIGHTON
Approaching 800 MG cars, spanning the marque's 80 years, will be taking
part in the MG Regency Run on Sunday, May 9. Leaving Brooklands the MGs
will journey to Madeira Drive, Brighton, representing the event's largest
gathering in its 21-year history and coinciding this year with the marque's
80th anniversary.
Richard Monk, General Manager of the MG Owners' Club, said: "MG has the
largest following of one-marque enthusiasts worldwide. This event is just
one illustration of the passion held by those owning an MG and the sight of
so many MGs en-route and assembled on Brighton seafront will be a fantastic
spectacle."
The Regency Run is jointly organised by the MG Owners' Club and MG Car Club
with an enormously varied collection of MGs taking part. The Brooklands
Museum Race Track is the site of many historic wins for MG, most notably
the first 750cc 100mph record and the double-twelve hour race win.
The run is directed through the beautiful by-ways, rather than the
highways, of Surrey and Sussex. In celebration of its 21st year and
coinciding with the 80th year of MG production each entrant will receive a
special commemorative Regency Run key fob to mark the occasion. Such is
the popularity of this event that practically every MG type is to be
represented with the current MG models including the very latest ZT 260 V8
and the stunning MG XPower SV.
