The MG Massive

800 cars to take to the road next week to make trip from Gaydon to Brighton

Approaching 800 MG cars, spanning the marque’s 80 years, will be taking part in the MG Regency Run on Sunday, May 9th. 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 80^th 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 by-ways, rather than the highways, of Surrey and Sussex. In celebration of its 21^st year and coinciding with the 80^th year of MG production each entrant will receive a special commemorative Regency Run key fob to mark the occasion.

Practically every MG type is to be represented with the current MG models including the very latest ZT 260 V8 and the MG XPower SV.
