Our evening meetings usually start about 7-00pm / 7-30pm on the last Tuesday of the month when we have a local drive organised. Occasionally we meet on a Saturday morning. If Covid taught us one thing it is the need to be flexible and mix things up a little to add variety and interest. It also helps for those who might have commitments on regular club nights.
If you have an MG, or are interested in MGs then please come along to one of our meets and try us out. You can use our contact form to get in touch and find out where we will be next.

According to Enzo Ferrari “The Jaguar E-Type is the most beautiful car in the world.”
Since the age of 9, this Jaguar’s owner dreamed of owning an E-type, and now that dream has come true. They've had this Series 1, 4.2, Open Two Seater in Carmen Red since 1997, and it's just been fully restored. Despite the restoration, they've kept some original features like the Jaguar leaper and seat covers for sentimental reasons. These items remind them of their late father driving the car and of a special encounter with Tiff Needell from Top Gear in 1999.
Now, you have the chance to experience why the E-Type is so highly regarded by Enzo Ferrari and many others. Come see it in action at CarFest on the Kwik Fit-Michelin Track and cruising through the country roads of Overton.
Introducing a rare gem from 1981: the Two Door Range Rover Convertible, once ranked by Top Gear magazine as the 6th most fascinating Range Rover ever built.
Originally customised by Townley Cross-Country Vehicles Ltd in London, this car represents the pinnacle of 1980s Range Rover conversions, sought after by wealthy clients in the Middle East.
With only a few left worldwide, these convertibles are truly special.
This particular car has a fascinating history. It was first owned by Queen drummer Roger Taylor and boasts luxurious upgrades like a power-operated hood and custom interior. After changing hands a few times, it underwent a thorough restoration to bring back its former glory.
Initially designed as an affordable car for the masses, the Deux Chevaux, or 2CV, enjoyed nearly five decades of production.
Despite its humble origins, it boasts a charm that rivals even the most prestigious Ferraris, with the added bonus of lower service costs.
Meet "Bumble," a slightly modified version of the classic 2CV. While it retains the original 602cc air-cooled engine, it features upgraded "racing" pistons and barrels, boosting its power output from 27 to approximately 33 BHP. Although Bumble can reach speeds of 60mph, its real thrill lies in its impressive leaning angle during a Dream Ride, potentially matching or even exceeding 35 degrees on the track.
Baguettes not included!
Thanks to Wilton Knight, we now have KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) driven by our very own UK version of Michael Knight. This opportunity offers a nostalgic trip back to the days when Knight Rider graced our screens, back when we had just four TV channels.
This 1987 Black Pontiac Trans Am is a professional replica of the iconic car from the 1980s Knight Rider series. Complete with a fully functional dashboard, PMD interior, and authentic external sounds, this replica was even used for promotional purposes in the UK during the show's heyday.
The dashboard bears David Hasselhoff's signature, confirming its authenticity. KITT embodies all the sounds and traits of the original TV series and can engage in conversation with you—just be prepared to respond to the name "Michael" if you're up for the challenge!
