Start your engines, the Morris Finance MG Car Club (MGCC) Classic Car Display is coming to Geelong this Sunday.
The show will feature close to 140 MG cars at the Steampacket Gardens on October 22 from 11am to 3pm and celebrates 100 years since the first MG was sold.
MGCC secretary Roger Phipps said the cars on display would range from the 1930s to the modern day and the display also recognised the Geelong club’s 50th anniversary.
“We’ll be showcasing a model of cars including the MG Magnette, which has been 70 years since it was first on sale, and we have seven or eight of those that we’re showcasing,” he said.
“They’re an interesting MG as it is a sedan out of the 1950s, so that’s something interesting for people to look at, as well as sports cars out of the 1940s and my two cars from the 1960s.”
Mr Phipps said everyone was welcome to come down to the event on Sunday and have a look at the many different types of cars on display.
“It’s good for people that are out on the foreshore on Sunday and they’re on a stroll, they’ve got something to see and it’s free,” he said.
“A lot of people will be surprised with the number and variety of cars as well as the strength of our club here in Geelong.
“We’re hoping that it might even spur some interest with people who might like to join the club because you don’t have to own an MG join our club.”
