The Historic Marathon Rally Group (HMRG) will have a stand at the Classic Car and Restoration Show from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd March at the NEC Birmingham. Hall5, Stand 745.

Our stand will comprise two interesting cars for lovers of the unusual.
Firstly, we will be displaying the ongoing restoration of a very rare 1972 Gilbern Invader MkII Estate, owned by HMRG Committee member Michael Ryman. This particular Ford 3.0 litre Essex V6 car powered model was rescued in primer from a garden in Woking, Surrey, having been dismantled by its long term owner who had given up the good restoration fight after completing a full engine rebuild and installation. With just 26000 miles from new and accompanied by every single piece of documented paperwork since the date of original order, we at the HMRG wanted to showcase the car now that it has been finished in Rolls Royce Champagne Beige metallic and just as its painstaking reassembly commences.
Secondly, and in keeping with our usual habit of presenting unusual historic rally cars, how about Bob Beale’s now famous Volkswagen Beetle, a former Monte Carlo Historique competitor and surely the most outrageous 60 year old rally car known!
Bob will be showing this car on our Stand at the Show, so if you fancy dropping in for a friendly chat and finding out a bit more about the cars and the people, don’t hesitate to book your ticket soon!
We look forward to seeing you in Birmingham! Remember…Hall 5, Stand 745.
