Motoring enthusiasts will be indulging in a spot of nostalgia this week when the All About MG exhibition rolls into Abingdon.

Six MGs from the past to the present will be on show as part of the three-month exhibition outside Abingdon Museum, in the Market Place.

The event, which opens on June 14, will trace the origins of the company until its factory in Abingdon closed in October 1980 and the revival of interest in the marque among today's motorists.

Visitors to the exhibition will have the feeling of stepping into an MG production line as they face a three-dimensional photographic montage.

Original photographs and rarely seen MG-related objects have been brought together on public display for the first time.

Museum curator Cherry Gray said: "There's so much interest in this world famous model, that played a major part in the history of Abingdon.

"It's the town's most famous icon and was the source of employment until the factory closed.

"The spirit of MG lives on and we at the museum are paying tribute to the part played by Abingdon men and women who helped build the MG legend."

The exhibition also acknowledges the present-day inheritors of the famous marque.

In 1933 MG triumphed at the Brooklands race track.

Seventy years on, an MG was fastest in the Green Flag MSA British Touring Car championship race at Brands Hatch.

The MG story is told in an information package by Brian Moyland, who worked for the company for 29 years.

The All About MG exhibition will run until September 14 and can be seen from 10.30 until 4pm.
