https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/images/Roverfest2.jpg Announcing Roverfest incorporating The Owners Club 24th National Meet from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th August 2017 As part of the Roverfest weekend, The Club's 24th National Meet will be held on Sunday 13th August 2017 at Wroxall Abbey Hotel & Estate Birmingham Road Wroxall CV35 7NB 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of Rover launching the V8 engine. This engine was developed as the power plant for the Rover P5 which gained the B suffix indicating the engines origins from Buick. The engine was subsequently installed into the Rover P6, SD1, Range Rover and Land Rovers. During its lifetime it appeared in other non–Rover marques such as the MGBGT V8, TVR, and Morgan. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/images/Wroxall3.jpg In celebration of this engine, the Joint Rover Clubs of Great Britain, consisting of the Rover Sports Register, The Rover P4 Drivers Guild, The P5 Club, The Rover P6 Club, The SD1 Club, The Rover 200/400 Club, The Rover Coupe Owners Club, The Rover 75 and MG ZT Owners Club and Rover 800 Club will be joining forces to stage one big celebratory “Rover Fest” weekend in August 2017. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/images/Wroxall4.jpg Roverfest is a full weekend of celebrations and activities for all things Rover and of course especially the legendary Rover V8 engine which turns 50 years old in 2017, but don't worry all our MG ZT members are also warmly welcomed to the celebrations. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/images/Wroxall5.jpg Activities will commence on Friday evening at Wroxall, then on Saturday there will be a range of events at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, or alternatively you will have the chance to visit local attractions and the historic nearby towns such as Leamington Spa, Warwick, Stratford upon Avon and Coventry.
