Largest Mobile History of MG Cars Parade from Brooklands to Brighton

29 April 2004

Approaching 800 MG cars, spanning the marque's 80 years, will be taking part in the MG Regency Run on Sunday, May 9. 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 80th 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 beautiful by-ways, rather than the highways, of Surrey and Sussex. In celebration of its 21st year and coinciding with the 80th year of MG production each entrant will receive a special commemorative Regency Run key fob to mark the occasion. Such is the popularity of this event that practically every MG type is to be represented with the current MG models including the very latest ZT 260 V8 and the stunning MG XPower SV.

MSport-UK will be taking part in the run, and we'll bring you all the news and photos from the event on our dedictaed MG channel at www.mgxp.co.uk.
