Apparently not... :o

Presumably they will have MG's attending too? http://www.maestro.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif

Although essentially Austin cars the later ones i.e. '89 onwards are Maestros/Montegos 'from Rover' and would therefore qualify for attendance at such a show. Bear in mind also that many of the later models have modifications purely designed by Rover including the sharing of colour schemes/paint.

I wonder if one of the original 1904 Rover bicycles will be on show? People forget (or don't even know) that Rover started its existence making bicycles.

Mind you, there's a proportion of so-called MG enthusiasts who have forgotten (or don't even know) that 80 years ago MG started its life turning the likes of mundane Morris Cowleys into souped-up sports-cars.
