Looking Back

For this month’s Looking Back, we’re keeping with the Zed theme and revisiting the ZedTen event held at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, on a sunny July day in 2011. The sight of almost 400 Zeds in one place was very impressive, as was the colourful display of the Monogram cars. The first two photos feature a good selection of the modern MGs, including some of the show and shine cars with a good mix of ZT, ZT-Ts and the ZS MGs further back in the first image above. The popular ZR hot hatch features in our second photo below, with lots of people enjoying the day in both. Were you there? A study of a Chatsworth ZT-T is the subject of our final photo, one of the many Monogram Zed cars that attended the event. Hopefully we’ll have a good selection of Zeds at the Zed20 event at Malvern in August.
