Pride of Longbridge Ralley - Pictures

The Yellow Peril · 13th April 2008, 11:14

The Pride of Longbridge Rally was a great success with at least 200 and probably more cars ranging from the early 1900's, Austin's up to the last 75's, MG TF's and the spectacular X_Power sports cars.

The Lord Mayor of Birmingham headed the procession with William Riley the recently announced "saviour" of the MG-X-Power marque in his Silver X-Power sports car. The route chosen took the rally past the old Longbridge works to Cofton Park, where the cars were arranged and displayed by type and age.

The sun shone for most of the day, and a good time was had by all.
Some photos of the event are attached.

An All-agro with the bonnet up, nothing new there then!

You see your first X-Power MG, then a whole load come along together

Classic Looks

Another old banger (oops!) and the good lady wife

The second area starts to fill

Beautiful P5

Looking down the hill

My new mate Bill, or as he described us “The Michelin Men”

My 75 2.0 CDTi, one of the last production cars from longbridge
