WH Brand aims to attract more than 100 classic and current MG models as it hosts a Carfest fundraising event to help showcase the forthcoming MG XS SUV.

Held at WH Brand's dealership at Whaplode Drove, near Spalding, the July 23 event will have entertainment such as games, a raffle and a tombola alongside refreshments, with all profits going to Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance.

WH Brand MG’s sales manager Adam Brand said: “The pre-launch MG XS will be on display at the event, giving visitors a chance to see the next generation of MG sitting next to the finest examples of the brand’s heritage.”

With last year’s meeting welcoming 192 cars, raising over £400 for charity, organisers are expecting an even larger turn-out to this year’s event. 

Welcoming any vintage or modern MG or affiliated marque – including Rover, Austin, BMC, Riley and Wolseley to name but a few – entrance costs just £5 for a display space, £2 for adult visitors and £1 for children, with all profits going to the local Air Ambulance.

MG Motor UK’s head of sales and marketing, Matthew Cheyne, said: “Events like the WH Brand MG Carfest give a great insight into the evolution of the brand. The new SUV that we have developed, the MG XS, is yet another exciting chapter, and we are sure that people will be delighted with the next MG generation."
