The home of the Historic Marathon Rally Group. The Historic Marathon Rally Group (HMRG) is a friendly UK-based network of enthusiasts dedicated to reuniting historic rally cars, competitors, service crews, and supporters from around the world.

We’ll be welcoming our friends, show visitors, Group Members and all Historic Rally enthusiasts and have our Stand set up ready with Bob Beale’s famous Team Colorado Beetle and Committee Member Michael Ryman’s restoration project Gilbert Invader Estate on show and waiting to greet you! Hoping to say “hello” over the weekend, so do drop in and say “hi”!
