BMC & LEYLAND SHOW 2027

We know it's early days until our next display at the British Motor Museum on Sunday 11th July , but we like to plan ahead.

We will again be focussing on ex-Works and replica cars with a small number of contemporary privateer cars with a distinguished rally history. Here are a few Minis from past shows that we hope to have on display again.

THE BRITISH MOTOR MUSEUM COLLECTION

Since we were formed in 2019, we have been supported by the British Motor Museum to display a selection of cars at the annual BMC & Leyland Show in July.

In the museum's collection is this Austin 1800 Mk2 Landcrab, SMO 226G, that, amongst other events, competed in the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon, finishing second. Driven by Paddy Hopkirk, Tony Nash and Alec Poole, it was one of 56 cars that completed of which 22 were thought to have survived at the time of the 50th anniversary celebration hosted by the Historic Marathon Rally Group at Gaydon.

As a token of our appreciation for the museum's continuing support, we have renewed our sponsorship of the car for another year, so do take a look when you are next visiting.
