At least the MG Cyberster EV Roadster is due to be unveiled in 2023. April of 2023 to be more precise. MG is on track to unveil its ‘Project E’ two-seat electric roadster in April next year ahead of its first UK deliveries in the first half of 2024, an MG Motor UK spokesperson has said. The production car “will be a game-changer in terms of perception of the brand,” MG UK commercial director Guy Pigounakis told Autocar at a recent event. The car will be available in either two-wheel drive – most likely rear-wheel drive – or as a “very high-performance” all-wheel-drive dual-motor version. The car will become a halo model sitting above the rest of MG’s line-up. UK executives had to rethink its positioning when the first full-scale prototype of the production car arrived from China in advance […]

Since 1997 the Chicagoland MG Club swap meet has been held at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, Illinois in early spring.

We have reserved our usual date and buildings in the expectation that Covid related group restrictions will not preclude it. At this time, a requirement for indoor masking is the only restriction in effect at our site. However, due to the continuing uncertainty of restrictions for group gatherings, vendors and shoppers alike should monitor this site for any updates as to whether or not we will be able to conduct the Swap on March 27, 2022. If the site is available without untenable restrictions, we will […]

Following the cancelation of the 2020 event due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, a large percentage of entrants carried over their registration to 2021. Since then excitement has continued to mount for this fun-filled and relaxed event. Beginning with a small “reunion” in 2009, today’s racing- and non-racing entrants at Put-in-Bay enjoy several days of sports-car enjoyment in a relaxed and nostalgic setting where small-bore sports cars raced through the streets of this island enclave from ‘52 to ‘59 and once more in 1963. For this year’s event (September 21-24 with racing at the Put-in-Bay airport on September 22 and 23) race organizers have built on the enthusiasm for 2019’s “TinTop” celebration to invite drivers of vintage Volvos, VWs, and Saabs to come share the fun as official featured marques.
