Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club

This year the Pride of Longbridge Rally will be held on Saturday 16th April 2011. For those who have not attended the rally before it is a fairly informal event, where you can just turn up and chat to other enthusiasts on the day.

The Pride of Longbridge Rally is organised by the Longbridge Community Action Trust which supports those affected by the closure of MG Rover. The annual rally marks the anniversary of over 6000 employees being made redundant and celebrates the cars, the work of the factory and the people behind it over 100 years.

Nigel Haigh will be at Hopwood Services, Junction 2 on the M42 (B48 7AU) at 10am on the morning to meet members. (Nigel drives a Red Cabriolet -K214 KAB). The plan is then to depart at approximately 10.15 and drive onto Cofton Park opposite the main entrance of the factory (Q gate) on Low Hill Lane, Longbridge. Members can also go straight onto Cofton Park.

The rally is open to all Austin and Longbridge built vehicles including other marques whose engines and gearboxes were built or designed at Longbridge. There is no entrance fee and no need to book in advance. However if you notify Nigel of your attendance before hand then we will know which members to look out for on the day.

Many thanks for letting us all know, funnily enough i was only thinkinh yesterday when the longbridge event this year was being held, so wanted to go last year but on the day i couldnt, i really do want to attend this year, at next week the head on my Cabbie is being skimmed and new head gasket etc being done, want to have my car back on the road beginning of April so that would be great timing fior me.

Many thanks and happy new year to one and all
