National Club Meet for the 25th Anniversary of the Rover 75 Gaydon 14th April 2024
Announcing the Owners Club National Meet to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the Rover 75 on Sunday 14th April 2024 The Club's 1st National Meet of the year will be held on Sunday 14th April 2024 at The British Motor Museum Banbury Road Gaydon Warwickshire CV35 0BJ Between 10am and 5pm To mark the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Rover 75, the club's next national event will be a combined weekend celebration following on from the Pride Of Longbridge Rally the day before at Cofton Park where we will have a club parking area for members. Gaydon Motor Museum holds a particular significance for the 75 and ZT Owners Club for two very important reasons; firstly in terms of club organised events, it is where it all started for us back in 2006 with our inaugural meet which was attended by 100 cars, then our next visit back in 2010 topped that attracting 117 in total, followed by our third visit ten years ago to mark the then 15th anniversary of the Launch of the 75 where we topped our record with 139 cars. Secondly, as many of you will know, the museum at Gaydon houses the very first full production Rover 75 to roll off the line: VIN 100001 a Dealer Launch specification model no less, so what better way to celebrate than to hold our event at it's current home. Looking at the build record for # 10001, what makes this even more special is the fact that it came off the production line at 10:28:29 on 12th April 1999, so our event is 25 years almost to the day! https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...6f6294967d.jpg As part of the club's National, we are looking to re-unite as many member owned Dealer Launch Cars, and Pre-Launch early Rover 75's as we can in one place to be arranged in a display. The museum has agreed to bring out from long term storage one of their two Rover 75s and display it for us inside our own area of the building. Quite apart from our club area, the museum contains hundreds of pristine examples of automotive history including a Thunderbirds Pink Rolls Royce and of course the very last production Rover 75 to roll off the line, hand assembled by a small team. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/ima...gaydon1410.JPG Once again, we will be presenting the annual Gryphon Award to the best car at the show as voted by you the members on the day 25 Years Ago To mark this special anniversary, the club has invited several original Rover Group key personnel to talk about the development and production of the R40. We will have a function room set aside in the main building where you can meet and question the key people responsible for getting our cars into production. Confirmed are the following: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...bcc0956e63.jpg https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...6a8ca132a4.jpg https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...01df730e47.jpg https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...9141527ea4.jpg https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...6a8ca2de6b.jpg We hope with your support, to make this the club's biggest and best National weekend ever marking the 25th anniversary of the car's launch in style and with pride. The cost for car club members to enter the museum on the Sunday National is £12.00 per person which is payable on the day directly to the museum's pay desk (All of that fee goes straight to the museum, and not the club). However, as we have to cover the entry fee costs for our special guest speakers and the not insignificant charge to have the museums Rover 75 brought out, we are asking for a token charge of £4.00 per car to attend the meet , payable to the club at our registration Gazebo on arrival. That makes the combined cost for attending the National meet including museum entry with access to the Rover special guest speakers and The museums 75 a total of £16.00 split across the two payments.
