Abingdon works motorsport celebration – 10 JULY 2022

DAVID SCOTHORN WRITES: “The Abingdon Works Motorsport Celebration seems to be attracting entries to BMC/BL Day at Gaydon from some prominent Sebring Sprite members and original cars. Although not ‘made in Abingdon Comps Dept’, it is very encouraging they want to come to this part of the event, and I will be happy to find them an area to display. Here is a bit of background:
Presenting an Abingdon Works Motorsport Celebration of BMC/Leyland ex-Works race and rally cars, which will be joined by other makes, including those from the period of the Historic and Classic Marathons. Likely to be seen are up to 50 cars, including ex Works MG’s, the 1964 Spa-Sofia-Liege Healey 3000 , the Aaltonen/ Ambrose 1962 RAC Rally Mini Cooper 977 ARX, London-Sydney and World Cup Rally Landcrabs, Triumphs, Fords and Hunters, and not least ‘Puff the Magic Wagon’, Austin Maxi, MCE 7G. Several well known personalities will be attending, who are associated with the cars displayed. This part of the event is organised by members of the Historic Marathon Rally Group and Mini Cooper Register”.
