Shade is somewhat limited - first in best dressed! Bring some chairs, sit back, chat and have fun. This is our premier display day. Take a stroll and admire some magnificent cars. We invite you to enter in the Club Concours where cars are judged on presentation and originality, and in doing so compete for Annual Club trophies and the Don Brown Trophy for Concours Champion. We want you and your guests to each register a vote for the ‘People’s Choice’ MG on display. You decide, by whatever criteria you choose, what car on display to vote for. |
