Abingdon will celebrate its car manufacturing history with a show featuring all the models once built in the town.

The Abingdon Works Car Show, organised by the Abingdon MG Car Club, will take place on Monday, August 27. All cars built at the factory on the Marcham Road site from 1929 to 1980 will be on display, including Austin Healeys and Rileys.

A number of historic competition cars will also attend the annual event, as the BMC competitions and special tuning department was once based at Abingdon.

The show will get off to a racing start with a short road run starting at the police station in Colwell Drive - built on part of the former car works site - at 10am.

The event has been organised in conjunction with the Lions Gala day, and there will be activities for all the family.
