I'm faced with a few choices now... I will be attending the BL rally end of the month, there's Knebworth end of August also so... What should i take? And why?

If you had a Montego Turbo I'd say take that as they're not showing up at all at any shows apart from the odd couple. Maybe you should take the Turbo as that turns heads and does the marque proud. If you *can* though, take along the 1984 EFi with the digi-dash, it sounds an interesting car!

The cars i can take are in the poll. Those in my sig, such as the Efi, has been off the road since 1998 but it does still run :) One day it will be tidied up and it WILL be showed because how many arum white MG Efi Maestro's do you see, EVER!!!! Long time since i ever saw one on the road thats for sure!

My opinion is to take your Turbo to general MG-only and inter-marque classic-car shows (does the marque proud) and take your MG Montego to MG-saloon shows and meetings. At MG saloon shows (like last Sunday) Maestro Turbos outnumber the other '80s MGs to such a degree that people are almost blasé about seeing them. If the wife and I still owned our old little white MG Metro 1300 we'd have gone in that to Coombe Park, not the Turbo

Didn't realise your signature was growing so much. Your parent's must be going mad with all those cars outside, not to mention what the neighbours think.

I voted the TD estate, you see lots of them on the road as they are good workhorses, but how many do you actually see at a show? Would be nice to see some of the more common cars at a show. As for which show I don't know.

I'd get a trailer/dolly and tow one to events with one of the others so you could take two :D
