The car show had approximately 230 MGs on the field and featured the MG Sedans. As it was for the whole weekend, the weather was flawless with abundant sunshine and moderate temperatures.

The Saturday night banquet was held right at the Hilton and featured Peter Thornley as the guest speaker. Peter’s father was Mr. MG himself, John Thornley. John was the Managing Director of the MG Car Company from 1952 until his retirement in 1969. He had first become involved with MGs through ownership of an M-type Midget which led him to become the founding secretary of the MG Car Club in 1930. That led him to employment at Abingdon as the Service Manager and eventually to becoming the head of MG. Peter, who resides in Atlanta, offered warm memories of his family and his father’s long career at MG.

John announced the Summer Party will return again next year and the featured models will be post-Abingdon MGs. Paging Mr. Perez! Paging Mr. Dino Perez!
