MG TD TF 1500 - UK MG Events

Just noted in the latest Octagon Bulletin a letter from Peter Ebden re the recent MG Event at the Epsom Race Course. I don't know if Peter reads BBS but if he does he certainly gets applause from me - this is an issue I fell very strongly about. I live in Scotland but do attend a number of events in the UK. For many the cost of getting there is money well spent. I believe the Silverstone MG Weekend, the Great British Autojumble at the NEC, the MG Autojumble at Stonelie and of course the NEC Classic Car Show to be excellent value for money. I also recall, however, vsiting the Wembly Arena Autojumble last year and apart from Harry, manning the Octagon stand, and a person selling repro military uniforms there was no one there ! If it wasn't for the fact that one of our daughters lives in Hampstead and I was able link attendance with a visit to the family I would have been very angry. Likewise the well advertised Alexandra Palace Event simply had lots of shiny cars and nothing else. I could list other time wasters including a number in Scotland and one held two weekends ago in particular. I am considering a visit to the forthcomming Restoration Show at Stonelie in a few weeks time but am questioning if it will be worth the journey. I think feedback from attendees at Classic Car events would be of interest to all UK subscribers.

The autojumble at the restoration show is quite large, although I would not consider it if I was looking for T type spares. OK for MGB parts however. Lists are usually published of the traders that will be attending, and you may see some mg specialists listed. You have to make your own decision on whether to attend or not.
