A major event, featuring hundreds of MGs of all ages, will celebrate 100 years of the famous British sportscar marque in the picturesque parkland surroundings of the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu on Saturday 30 September 2023.
‘MG100 at Beaulieu’ is being organised by the Home Counties South region of the MG Owners Club and several hundred MGs are expected to attend with individual clubs taking part coming from across the region covering Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey, Berkshire and Wiltshire. It is anticipated that it will also attract MG owners and enthusiasts from a much wider area.
The centenary event coincides with the opening, just a few days before, of a new exhibition at the National Motor Museum in the heart of the New Forest in Hampshire. Opening on 16 September and running until 06 January 2024, ‘In Focus: The Magic of the Marque – 100 years of MG’ will chart the history of the company and its cars.
All ages of MG are welcome at MG100 from pre-war J-Types and Midgets through the massed ranks of classic TDs, MGAs, MGCs, MGBs and Magnettes to modern classics such as the RV8 and MGF as well as the latest all electric ZS and multi-award winning MG4.
As well as a colourful array of MGs the event will feature:
A public vote for the ‘Car of the Day’
A centenary timeline of MGs
Dedicated MGOC Club displays
Trade Stands
