Pride of Longbridge Rally
|
12 Apr
|
|
|
|
Meeting at Hopwood Park services, at Junction 2 of the M42, from 10AM onwards (at last year's event, the police cordoned off a section of car park for event attendees - so you won't get lost!), with cars leaving for Cofton Park (the park where the Centenary Event was held, facing Q Gate) from around 11AM.
This event aims to celebrate the production of cars, engines and components at Longbridge over a century. This years rally takes place on the third anniversary of over 6000 employees being made redundant following the collapse of MG Rover. Last year's event was extremely well attended, and this year's event should be equally popular - if not more so.
