special MG90 themed exhibition on the top floor of the Abingdon County Hall Museum
opened on Sunday and was well attended by many MG enthusiasts. The exhibition
has been created in collaboration with the MG Car Club to celebrate 90 years of
MG motoring. Historical MG artefacts have been loaned to the museum from Kimber
House to create the special exhibition, which is open to the public until July
20th. The MG90 display includes a selection of items which belonged to Cecil Kimber,
considered by many as the father of MG, such as Kimber’s overnight bag, ornaments
from his desk and fur coat. There is also a selection of original prototype models
of some of the most well-known MGs, which were created by hand in the Abingdon
factory.
As well as the
mayor of Abingdon, Cllr Samantha Bowring, the opening was attended by a number
of famous faces from the former Abingdon factory including Don Hayter, Chief
