MG Show and Spares Day set for February

Warwickshire’s Stoneleigh Park will host the International MG Show and Spares Day on Sunday 19th February 2012. The day is aimed at all MG enthusiasts – from early two-seater purists to fans of the later sporting saloons.

Displays from many of the UK’s most dedicated motoring clubs will showcase MG models through the ages, and we’re promised some rare and stunning examples. And if you’re in the midst of a project, there will be an autojumble covering a broad range of parts and accessories – anything from replacement body shells to interior components and miscellaneous mechanicals.

The Show and Spares Day will be open from 10am until 5pm on Sunday 19th February. You can buy tickets in advance at £8* for OAPs and adults (*£1 transaction fee), or £10 for OAPs and £12 for adults on the gate. Under 16s get in free when accompanied by an adult.

Advance ticket holders will also benefit from ‘Early Bird Access’ from 9.00am, allowing you to beat the queues and bag an early bargain. Car parking is free. To book tickets, call 0871 620 7067 or visit the website at www.mg-show.co.uk for further updates.

For younger listeners, the MG Car Company was founded in the 1920s and in 1962 launched the MGB – now there’s an illustrious 50th birthday to celebrate in 2012.
