POL 2023 Tourer & ZT-T gathering
“The last chance saloon meets the lifestyle choice estate”.
I will be attending the Pride of Longbridge 2023 in my Tourer this year. I thought it would make a good visual effect to try & cluster some of the ZT-T & Tourer estates together at one end of the Rover 75 & MG ZT Club. Something similar was done at the RoverFest 2022 with organisers grouping cars by model & sub type where possible & it worked nicely with the estates parked opposite the saloons. This would an informal sub-group. Therefore I’ve created a little ‘event’ on facebook inviting estate owners to park their wagons at one end of the club line. This being the end nearest as you enter Crofton Park from where the 75/ZT club parks in the centre. As many members on here aren’t facebook users I’ve posted it here too. This is entirely unofficial & their is no official ZT-T/Tourer club it would just come under the wider club. |

So far I have five estates confirmed as attending on facebook. |

I think I've seen this date a couple of times online, and I'm sure you are right, but not seen anything 'official.' Do they have a Facebook page? I think I found out last year from the thread on here.

Count me in, will probably be in the Tourer unless I`ve finished the saloon. The Mrs will be in her TF again like last year, all being well.
Will keep an eye out for a meeting place as we`re coming from south of Chesterfield |

Meeting place
Hello all. As most of those responding seem to coming from the north I’m going to suggest meeting at J28 M1 southbound ‘Brewers Fayre’ car park at 7:50am to depart at 8am (all subject to discussion/change) for those wishing to travel down together.
So far seven estates have said they wish to join us & I expect a few more will do so closer to the date. Of these two are from Chesterfield area, one is from Sheffield, & one is Middlesbrough who can join the M1 via the M18, whilst I can join the M1 at J28 (Mansfield). Of course some may not wish to travel in convoy so they can park with us there. Based on previous years getting there before 9:30am is wisest because of the entry traffic jam that the 2000-4000 attending cars create. From J28 is 1hr 15mins & allows for us departing late from the rendezvous. |

You’d be welcome to join us. I currently have seven estates wishing to park together. Normally I take my saloon to POL but this year I might take both cars & get my dad to drive one. I can tag it in the end of the estate line. Of course the cost of 2x petrol on V6’s is what stopped me in 2022 bringing both. We will be passing your general direction en route so joining the convoy is also a possibility. |
