The 2013 Prewar MG meeting has attracted entrants from all corners of Australia and visitors from the USA and New Zealand adding an international flavour to the event.

Mention Bathurst to any motoring racing enthusiast in Australia, and they immediately think of the annual race between the V8 Fords and Holdens battling for line honours and a boost in sales for the rival makers of the combatants -  Ford and GMH.












To MG enthusiasts Mt Panorama conjures images of square rigger TCs and prewar racing MGs, the K3, NE and racing Ls and TBs.  See following links for  Mt Panorama History and this Blog on early action on the mountain.
