Pride Of Longbridge
Cofton Park
Longbridge

This large and enjoyable annual event is once again being held in Cofton Park opposite the former MG-Rover Longbridge Factory. The event starts at 10:00am and finishes at 4:0pm. Whilst this is not a Rover P4 Drivers' Guild event, Rover P4s are always made welcome as part of the vehicle family that ceased with the demise of MG-Rover.

Rover P4 Drivers' Guild National Rally

This year we have chosen National Trust's Stourhead House and Gardens near Mere, Wiltshire BA12 6QD. Whilst there will be no organised runs on the Saturday, the area around Stourhead offers lots to see and do prior to the rally on the Sunday. You can visit Longleat Safari Park, or maybe take a drive down the A303 to Sparkford and visit the Haynes Motor Museum. Perhaps you may want to visit historic Bath around half an hour away. About an hour’s drive north is Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill. The venue belongs to the National Trust, therefore access will either be free for Trust members, or payable on entrance for those who are not members of the Trust.

All participants need to book their place at the rally, which will be £15.00 for Guild members and £18.00 for those who are not Guild members.

Norfolk and Norwich Rover Owners Club
Bressingham All Rover Rally

Following the move to September as a result of Covid, our ‘Flagship’ event is returning to the traditional date of the late May bank holiday in 2026.

As always, this will be an All-Rover rally and is one of the few events where you can see nearly all the models produced by The Rover company from the 1930s right up to the end of production in 2005. There are always around 100 cars to look at and some very knowledgeable owners to talk to.

The event is held against the backdrop of the splendid gardens, the steam museum and the opportunity to take a ride on several steam hauled trains. In addition, the exhibition hall takes you back to the 1940s, with a full-size street scene, period displays, vintage vehicles, traction engines and much more. For those looking to do some spring planting there is also a large garden centre right next to the rally field.

This is always a good opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. Please click HERE which takes you to the NNROC website for an entry form. Or you can call Terry on 01603 405280.
