Just 30 cars and their crews will be permitted to enter our 2026 1066 Rally over the weekend of 12th-14th June with entry forms available from 14th July 2025. This is a first visit to the far south-eastern corner of England for a Network rally, where the world-famous Sussex Weald and South Downs with their spectacular scenery await rallyists. The two rally tours also take in vistas first seen by the conquering Normans in 1066. Rally HQ is to be the Chequers Inn in Maresfield: https://www.greenekinginns.co.uk/hotels/east-sussex/chequers where all 17 rooms (at special rates) have been held for rally participants over the rally weekend. To join us in June 2026, download and complete the entry form (see below) to secure your place on what promises to be a memorable summer weekend. (N.B. As at 20th July 2025 just one room remains unclaimed at The Chequers Inn. A list of alternative accommodations has been added behind the lower of the two blue buttons.)
Yet another leafy Surrey commuter town postcard image, this one being taken in Bagshot, a town bordered by a stretch of famous heathland. The Morris Minor 5-cwt Van parked at the kerbside of the main street is registered PJ 6431. On the opposite side of the road is, what could be, a Morris Minor Fabric Saloon.
The Triple M series of MG’s all belong to a family of models that commenced with the 1929 MG Midget and continued through to the mid-thirties via a long string of four and six cylinder OHC engined cars that forged the marques identity.
As was the tradition, the MG Car Club’s annual Abingdon to Abingdon Trial started and finished in the grounds of the MG Car Co., with the 1936 running of the event taking place on 9th May. Here, R.A. MacDermid has wrestled his Magnette (JB 6865) to the summit of a steep incline, only to lose the back end as the car struggles for grip. A full report of the event, along with provisional results, can be found on page 300 in the June 1936 edition of Motor Sport magazine. (LAT Collection Image)
