Pride of Longbridge Rally 2012.  

The Austin & Longbridge Federation, together with the Rover Community Action Trust are once again joint organisers of the  Annual Pride of Longbridge Rally - to be held at Cofton Park, Longbridge, B31 2BQ, on Saturday 14th April 2012 from 10 am to 4 pm. This being the nearest Saturday to the date on which the majority of the Longbridge workforce were made redundant in April 2005.

Over the past seven years, attendances have increased year on year from a modest 200 in 2006 to 850 vehicles with 2,500 visitors in 2011, making the Pride of Longbridge an important starter to the annual events calendar.

The Pride of Longbridge  Rally celebrates many great achievements, enabling the community to gather in Cofton Park to enjoy vehicles they or their ancestors created. Austin 7s and many others, through to front wheel drive Minis, Metros, Rovers and MGs in many types and sizes.

Again this year, visitors please go directly to Cofton Park where toilet facilities and refreshments will be available. (Not Hopwood Services or Avoncroft Museum), There are no admission charges, and all vehicles with an Austin / Longbridge, BMC or BL connection will be made welcome.
