There will be a timeline of 100 MGs on display, plus the 1925 ‘Old Number One’, which was the inspiration for the MG sports car.

There will also be a Spitfire flypast (subject to weather), MG Specialist traders, souvenir merchandise, MG archive films in the cinema, a Pride of Ownership competition, Sporting Bears charity rides and a series of road runs arriving throughout the day.

Vintage singing group the Barn-Ettes, will also be performing.

Tom Caren, show manager at the British Motor Museum, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting this special event to celebrate the 100th birthday of the iconic MG with displays, a Spitfire flypast, competitions, charity rides, live music and a special dinner in the evening.

"A landmark anniversary like this doesn’t come along too often, so please do come along and make the most of a superb and memorable day out.”
