In 2004 The Early MG Society was invited to join the Cercle MMM Rally based in Clervaux, Luxembourg. Several "early M.Gs" made the round trip of approx. 1000 miles without mishap. Attached pictures show the gathering of cars at the start of a pretty wet and dismal first day of the Rally. I attended one or two other meetings, either with John Day in his F Magna or William Opie in his N Type. Great times and good memories.

There is a write-up and a few pictures of the 1992 event in the Triple-M Yearbook of that year.

...also the 1995 event in the 1995 Yearbook, and there are probably others as they were very popular events.

As Mike says they were very popular events, we did 3 of them and enjoyed them greatly. If you want photographs there are some on this website, in the much underused 'events' section of the photographs page.
The last one we did was 2007, three cars travelling from Yorkshire - Tony Margel's M type, Tony Hay's NA and my NB. About an hour after getting off the overnight boat in Zeebrugge we were driving along a long straight road. Ahead we could see 2 Police cars and hi-viz jackets at the roadside, we were pulled over. What was their first question?.... Are you travelling together? M + NA + NB in 2007. I could hear Poirot's grey cells spinning in his grave!

These events still attract good numbers, from various countries. Hopefully returning next year after being postponed in 2020 / 21
The first major European Event that led to the MG Car Club European Events of the Year was actually organised by MGCC Luxembourg and held in Luxembourg.
For a little country it has a lot going for it!!
