The Chesapeake Chapter of the New England MG “T” Register is proud to invite you to attend the 44th Annual Meet of The Original British Car Day (OBCD). This event is held for the enjoyment of all British car and motorcycle enthusiasts. Come and enjoy this gathering of a wide variety of British Marques, all in one setting! This year’s Featured Marque is the MGB Roadster, 1962 to 1974 (chrome bumper cars)in celebration of the MGB’s 60th Anniversary. We look forward to participation from local MG clubs and welcome their members and cars on our show field!

Drive it Day is the Historic Vehicle Movement’s National Awareness Day and falls this year, on Sunday 24th April 2022. As well as raising awareness and support for the future of the historic vehicle movement by getting our transport heritage visible on the UK roads altogether for one special day, the event also raises money for NSPCC’s Childline. National Drive It Day was created by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs in 2005.  It is the occasion when historic vehicle enthusiasts and the public at large have the opportunity to celebrate the One Thousand Mile Trial organized in 1900 to prove the viability of the new invention, the motor vehicle. It’s also a chance to raise awareness and support amongst the public for the historic vehicle movement and keeping transport heritage on UK roads.  

British Car Week is an annual awareness week intended for owners of Classic British Cars to get their cars out of the garage and drive them. While doing so, all who are involved will help create awareness of the classic British car hobby in local communities wherever there is participation.

As long as it can be safely driven down the road, this is a great opportunity to show off your favorite car and take advantage of what British car motoring is all about. Meanwhile, if you want to drive your car and need some ideas for places to go, please take a look at the activities calendar (linked on this page) for some ideas. British […]
