Following the success of the MG80 celebration run in 2010 it was decided to continue with a repeat in 2011. Peter and Lyn Ebdon combined their resources to provide a superb run over some 52 miles starting at the iconic Angel of the North and ending at the Gibside Hotel in Whickham. The weather was kind to us as 29 cars assembled at the Angel and as soon as the drivers received their instructions they were off, safe in the knowledge that they were covered by the Motor Sports Association.
At the Gibside Hotel, 61 sat down for a traditional Sunday lunch and without doubt the whole event was a resounding success.
