February 2018 – Newsletter

Our first event of the new year will be over when you read these notes. It’s good see all our planning reach fruition. Having been the traditional season opener for us for
many years it’s good to return to Stoneleigh for the MG & Triumph Spares Day after a gap of three years. It had become noticeable in the last few years that more and more Zed groups and
forums were present at this show. We return with a bang and will have three Zeds on our stand which have never been on display before – to promote the car club and ourselves.
Plans also continue on the arrangements for the Practical Classics Restoration & Classic Car show in March. Our stand will include three Zeds, two of which have received a huge amount of
renovation and TLC to return them to prime condition. But I won’t say what they are or who owns them! You will just have to come and find out. We will be located in Hall 5 on stand 535
right next to the main club stand. Work continues apace on the arrangements for our ‘MGs in the City’ event in May. We are currently in negotiations with the Coventry Motor Museum and in
the process of booking Millennium Place. Once the details have been finalised we will begin promoting this event properly. Moving in to April we will also be booking space at Pride of Longbridge when the online form becomes available. The space requirement and vehiclenumbers will be discussed and confirmed with the organisers. If you are interested in attending
please let us know so we have an idea of numbers. This year marks the 15 th Anniversary of the launch of the MG ZT 260 and we will be featuring
this event throughout the year, culminating with a display of V8s at MG Saloon Day in July. Further details will follow in due course. Before then however we would ideally like to have a
V8 as one of our three Zeds on display at the NEC in March. If you would be willing to have your ZT 260 on show please either let myself or a member of the committee know. Thank you in advance.
