Anyone going to this prestigious historic motorsport show?

If anyone's interested in helping man the MG Maestro motorsport stand, I might be able to get you in for free. We aren't required to have someone on the stand all the time, so there will be plenty of breaks where you can see the rest of the show & the Group B rally cars on the demo stage outside.

I was hoping to get the Africa Maestro or Pablo Rayboulds ex Tony pond car alongside but the former wont beback to the UK in time, and the latters restoration is not yet finished.

However, this car will be there:

Pablo's coming along to meet up & have a look at the car + show me some Austin Rover motorsport memorabilia etc...

Just to prove what a prime spot the organiser granted the Maestro, here's a video of the main hall (you can just see us with the Maestro in the background by the wall at 1:22, 1:53, 2:12, 2:33, 2:44, 3:05, 3:16, 3:30, 3:43, 4:20, 4:36, 5:00).

N.B. the best glimpse of it is at 4:36
