On Sunday the 4th of January, 2026, we will be making an MG Car Club Sydney display at Donington Auctions AutoBrunch to welcome Lindsay Cox from the Gloucestershire MG Owners Club UK during his Sydney Visit. For those looking to extend the morning, we'll take a short run to lunch at Saddles Mount White, where we'll have lunch at the Saddles Barn cafe following cars 'n coffee.
Please register online via Wild Apricot to give us an idea of numbers. If you'd like to continue on to Saddles, just reply here and let me know. We'll head out on the run at about 11:00am.
Entry to AutoBrunch is free for members of the North Shore Sporting Car Club and spectators. If you are not a member and would like to join the display, you can register online ahead of time at this link for a discounted rate of $4.00, or just pay $5.00 at the gate. Correct change is appreciated.
Upon arrival, let the gate know you're an MG Club member, and they'll guide you to our reserved area.
Last year a few of us caught up with Lindsay during his visit to see his daughter and her family after they had made a move from Sydney to the Central Coast. He had been in touch with Steve Lumley and Alan Heritage regarding mutual interests in MGC cars.
Lindsay is the very proud owner of a Snowberry White MGC convertible in the UK. Since his return to the UK after his visit last year he has been posting Facebook articles about RMO 699F 'Romeo', one of the pair of factory Sebring prepared light-weight, race MGC GTSs which was bought recently by his good friend Paul Mount in the UK.
This car was originally prepared and entered by the BMC in the 1969 12 hour Sebring, where it finished sixth in class driven by Paddy Hopkirk and Andrew Hedges. In March 2025, the car was invited by Automobile Racing Club of Florida to participate in a display at the 12 hour Sebring endurance weekend. After shipping to Miami the car featured in the Sebring 'Gallery of legends' and was inducted into their hall of fame.
Lindsay and his wife Mary will be travelling to Sydney at the end of 2025, both to visit family and attend the 5th Ashes test match in Sydney. They will be available on Sunday 4 January to attend the Donington St Ives Autobrunch with a lunch visit to Saddles, 20 Ashbrookes Road, Mount White, on their return journey to the Central Coast.
