Another large gathering of Pre-war Minor Network members and their cars are due to assemble at the Chequers Inn at Maresfield on Friday, 12th June, for our 16th annual rally. Those attending are looking forward to a weekend of touring the Kent and Sussex countryside along with the socialising the event generates. Updates will be posted here over the weekend.

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.)
This Harry Edwards Collection snapshot photo is of a 1929 Morris Minor Fabric Saloon (UX 4161) and was probably taken in the years running up to the start of World War II. Unusually, this car looks as if it has been modified and now sports what appears to be a homemade sunroof.
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.
The MG PB Midget was launched in September 1935 with an enlarged 939 cc 43 bhp engine. The main outward appearance change from its predecessor, the MG PA, was the introduction of a slatted grill radiator, although this is not apparent in this early image of the prototype (JB 6569). This publicity photograph is from the LAT Collection.
