A trilogy of events to celebrate the 50th Birthday of the MGB!
BRITAIN’S FAVOURITE sports car will enjoy a 50th birthday bash to remember in 2012 with a trilogy of showpiece events set to honour Abingdon’s most famous export. Over 550,000 MGBs were produced in the Oxfordshire town and the car is still revered throughout the world.
The MG Car Club, Silverstone Classic and the MGB50 committee have teamed up to offer MGB owners the chance to participate in an exciting trilogy of events – with something unique happening at each venue:
1. MGLive! on June 23-24 June when the MG Car Club descends on Silverstone for the world’s largest MG event. Welcoming all models of MG, the Club’s award-winning annual event has taken place at the home of British Motor Racing since 1949. MGLive! will stage a huge Saturday lunchtime street party with all MGB owners invited to attend as well as as
the usual car displays, live arena, trade city, racing on the GP circuit plus much more.
2. Silverstone Classic on July 20-22 where the backdrop for the famous ‘B’ will be the world’s biggest classic motor racing festival with over 800 historic race cars competing and 7,000 classic display cars across the weekend. There will be flat out family fun for everyone with live music from Mike & The Mechanics and Adam Ant plus a free fun fair, retail village, air displays, demos and the new AA World feature with a wealth of attractions.
3. Blenheim Palace on 23 September where a 120 strong MGB timeline will be on display for visitors, a factory workers re-union, interviews with famous MGB drivers in the arena, trade area and much more.
