The Displays

MGF 10 featured various displays of cars from "old" MGF 1 through to the latest exotic modified cars and of course those cars celebrating a certain  birthday in 2005.

  Birthday Cars    

The oldest production car on the day was owned by Patrick Warner who had car number 14. Only 13 behind old number 1 !
