New Zealand Centenary event, 2024

The message below is from the New Zealand clubs. They want to encourage UK and other European MGCC members to visit NZ and to attend their 2024 rally which culminates in Napier – location of the world-renowned two-yearly Art Deco event. Attendees bring their cars from all over the world to attend the parades. MG will have a special place in the 2024 event. Don’t worry about getting your own MG to NZ, the New Zealand clubs will provide cars and rides for UK, European and other oversea MG attendees.

Hi Peter,
I thought I’d give you an update on the next MGCC NZ National Rally, which will be doubling as our celebration of 100 years of MG. I know there is a lot of debate about the actual start date of MG, however we’ve ended up with 2024 for a few reasons, mostly practical – it fits with our biannual National Rally cycle (we originally planned to start Dec 31 2023 and overlap into 2024, but that unfortunately proved logistically impossible – even 3 years out there is nowhere in NZ that is able to accommodate us over NYE). As you know, it also fits with the current official line from MG Motor and we are working closely with MG Motor NZ to tie in our celebrations with them.

This will be a bigger rally than our regular biannual event, over 8 nights, with stops in Auckland, Taupo and Napier. It is open to all MG models, and will have a range of events including;
social – gala opening night and vineyards tours, competitive – motorkhana/autotest, drag sprints and track sprints, touring – some great back road tours through fantastic NZ scenery
We are still in the planning stages and aiming to lock in sponsorship in the coming months, so registration fees have not yet been finalised. At this stage, we are looking for (non-binding) expressions of interest to go on our mailing list – this can be by emailing registrations@mgrally.nz or by filling in this form.
We will be sending out accommodation information in our next update.

For further information, please email info@mgrally.nz, or visit www.mgrally.nz

We are aiming for a range of cars available to borrow for overseas entrants, if you are interested in doing so please contact us at bobandlynne1950@googlemail.com
