The MG Harrogate show at Patley Bridge will be on Sunday 9 August 2015, and there have been a few members who have expressed an interest in having a Club Stand at the meet, in order to get a club stand then we will need to send off the numbers attend by no later than 20 Jul, so that Harrogate Club can plan the layout for the show.

The cost of entry is £5, and this can be paid on entry to the show. If you would like to attend then can you please add your name to the list, so that we have approximate numbers which we will need to send to MG Harrogate as mentioned.

At the event we shall be awarding rosettes to the following categories, so there is a good chance that you might win a rosette for your car

Rover 75 - 1st to 6th Place

MG ZT - 1st to 6th Place

Also each member attending will be able to purchase a memento to commemorate the day at a very small cost of around £1 for a rosette, which will be printed with "Rover 75 and MG ZT" and MG Harrogate

Which way will you be going to Patley after the A59? I will join the convoy. I live at The Sun Inn, HG3 1SZ, about a mile away from the A59. If you fancy a stop before continuing then I can arrange refreshments for everyone and also toilets etc in the pub. If you want to go straight there I will wait in a lay-bye on the A59 by High Moor caravan park and join the convoy.

Just as a reminder for those attending the MG Harrogate show at Patley Bridge, the post code for the showground is: HG3 5BD

On entry into the showground, you will be met by one of the members of MG Harrogate and that is when you pay entry to the show, and can you let them know that you are part of the Rover 75 and MG ZT Club stand and they will direct you in the right direction, and Steve will already be there to meet you on the club stand.

See you all Sunday

Stu,

Apologies again but have been up most of the night with a fever and temperature of 103 in old money. I suspect kidney infection after cystoscopy last week. I must find some antibiotics to control the infection. Harrogate is the nearest place.

This is twice in a row I have missed an event through illness. Two days of preparation wasted. One day I will make it.

We can't really say any better than has already been said,special thanks must go to Stu & Rich for their organisation in association with this event enabling members to attend.

Yet again,you Guy's have pulled out all the stops,including the presentation of event rosettes for attendance & rosettes for best turned out 75s & ZTs a fantastic gesture from you both,very much appreciated by all we are sure,thus making the event even more enjoyable,many thanks Guy's.

Finally just to add 'Bluey' got a 2nd in the 75 section,a very nice surprise,as the standard of presentation of vehicles on show,[all credit must go to their owners]is getting higher & higher by the day.

Last but not least,many thanks to the members of this club that turned out for this,thus helping to make the day even better,we hope to attend this event again next Year.

Best Regards.

Hello Stu,

Out of hospital again. Sorry to have missed you all. I desperately wanted to meet Brian as he can fix one of my problems and probably others.I spent two days preparing two cars but am afraid neither looks as good as the photos on here. Are these cars used daily like mine?

Do I owe you any money Stu as I didn't make it? Cost of banner etc.?

Best wishes,

Adrian.

No, and really sorry you missed it, especially after spending that time on your cars, think that most of those that attended enjoyed the day, but I understand that you were not well, but hopefully you can catch us with the lads next time we have a meet in that area

Stu

PS and thanks to all the members that attended, and well done to all for getting your cars to such a high standard, they all deserved a prize

Some cracking cars there on the day (including ZTs of course!)

I wasn't in my ZT but supporting my local car club - I see a snap of my white MG Maestro among other members' photos.

May not be R75/ZT related but got a lot of interest (not many 1980s MGs left these days)

Your maestro was my favorite car of the day :bowdown: Like you say not many cars around from the 80s how I wished I'd kept mine now lol :duh:

Cheers Ricardo

My Dad had one of these back in the day (1984) - it was an early 2-litre car, still with the electronic talking dash.

Mine is not really concourse standard, but that's not what I asked the guys who restored it, to do. I wanted it to be structurally sound (which is where most of the work had to be done). Mechanically it was sound, some paintwork had to be done. Luckily the interior was pretty good already.

Cheers

Andrew

If it was an 84 and had the electronic dash, it would have been a 1.6, as I sold these new at the time!.....

From launch in 1983 through to April 1984 the MG Maestro had the R-series 1.6 engine, which had various problems. This was replaced for 6 months (May-October 1984) with the S-Series (which fixed some of these issues). Thereafter the MG had the 2-litre O-Series, so late 1984 cars did have the 2-litre.

I know the 'M' cars (Metro, Maestro and Montego) are not to everyone's taste, but they form a part of the continuum from the Magnette ZA through to the 'Z' cars (ZR, ZS & ZT)

I'm sure I probably saw your car at Pateley Bridge that year (how many M cars do you see, as you said?)

Presumably you've seen - http://www.maestro.org.uk/forums/
You may be a member already there?

Anyway, I'll keep defending them, as I've said before, without them the MG brand would have fallen out of the public's eye
