The day began with three scenic tours through Surrey and Kent to the venue. We travelled with a brace of B's from Farningham near Brands Hatch through the leafy lanes to Otford, Ide Hill, then past Bough Beech reservoir, Chiddingstone Causeway and into Penshurst. A much better trip than the motorway and enjoyable hood down driving.
The meeting was exceptionally well attended by almost all examples of the Marque. The MGF, SVW, V8 and T type registers were present in force.
The SVW register showing 20 or so cars. This one was a particularly good example of the SA |

An indication of the attention to detail applied by John Heagran, the owner of this superb TC sporting its Police extras. | |
The Y Register produced a row of Y types with UMG registrations. These two, UMG289 and UMG290 are sequential and were parked side by side. |
With excellent weather, a fine turn-out of cars and enthusiasts, this was a very enjoyable event. The Gymkhana providing good entertainment after lunch for the less energic of us....
