Report
on the event
There were
quite a few MGBV8s dotted around the parking areas - Factory
MGBGTV8s and RV8s and there were some V8 Roadster conversions
and some MGBGTGT conversions. One aspect of the event that I
found particularly interesting was the '100 year Timeline'.
The organisers had assembled 100 different MGs covering the
100 years since the formation of MG. (No arguments here about
when the company was started!) Starting with a MG Super Sports
from the 1920s, the exhibition went through successive years
and models to reach the present day Chinese MGs.

MGBGTV8
in the MG 100 Timeline
The MGV8 in the Timeline was Bracken 1218 driven over from Germany
by current owner Peter Forstner. It's a beautiful example of
a chrome bumper model in the bold Bracken colour. It was previously
owned by David Waterton, a former V8 Chairman.

MG
ZTT V8
Tony Lake reports seeing an MG ZTT V8 (Estate); an early example
- the first registered owner was MG/Rover Engineering Department,
and it was sold as one of the assets when the Company went bust.
It's the same colour as the Bonneville Estate X-15 on show -
very quick but not quite as fast! (Photo:

MG
RV8 Conversion
This beautiful RV8 in a bold red colour was spotted by Lorraine
Noble-Thompson. Does anyone know the owner as this MGV8 has
not been registered with the V8 Database? (Photo:
