Cars must be on display from 10am - 3pm so earlier arrival* and slightly later departure for cars and drivers. Free entry.
* the various car makes enter Wigram grounds at prescribed times. MGs (along with Morris, Minis, Fiats etc.) are to enter, together, at 7.30am - to be parked in our assigned area.
An early start but a special day - hopefully lots of members will bring their cars. We will gather at 7.15am in Pilkington Way - just away from our entry point on Vickerys Rd.. If late you may be allowed entry at Vickerys Rd.
All MGs (club members and others) are welcome to join our MG area; the more the merrier!! Bring or buy lunch.
An early start, this year, for what will be a fun day of admiring a wealth of classics, and meeting their owners. The B&E Car Shows are huge, now well-established events in Wellington, Auckland and Dunedin.
