The MR2 Drivers' Club has been running for over 33 years - nearly as long as the MR2 itself! Endorsed by Toyota GB, we attend and organise meets all year round, ranging from social lunches over winter to scenic drives and static shows all summer. In 2023, the Club is attending over 140 events nationally, including our own annual highlight the MR2DC National Day, when over 400 MR2s gather together for the day. Whether your MR2 is Mk1, Mk2 or Mk3, spotless or muddy, concours or rusty - all are welcome to join us for just £15 a year!
Our summer meetings usually involve a drive to a rural pub that serves good food but our winter meetings tend to involve activities that can be done in the bar. Apart from our monthly meetings we visit local car shows or attractions of interest. We also like to get to different parts of the UK or Europe in our MGs. If you haven’t taken your MG abroad yet, then you should . The roads are quiet, the food, the accommodation and the company are all excellent and the Europeans are really friendly to the classic car owner. In short, any excuse to get away.
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.
