Display
of MGV8s on the Market Place in Abingdon
Saturday morning 19th August 2023
Parking spaces for MGV8s are limited so book early for access
to the Display Area on the Market Place. Members whose bookings
have been accepted by the V8 Register will be sent a free Display
Area Access Pass which they will need to have on their MGV8
windscreen at the entry checkpoint to the Display Area. This
should simplify checking by the marshals and avoid traffic congestion
in the centre of Abingdon on a busy Saturday morning. |
