We are delighted to announce that, once again, the IVVCC and the UVCC are arranging a cross-border event for pre-1939 cars and T Type MGs, which are part of pre-war design, similar to our very successful event in May 2018. The intention of the organisers is to have 25 UVCC cars and 25 IVVCC cars on this very special event and the route is focusing on the NE border area. Once again, the event is being organised by Terence Bradley (UVCC) and Declan Grogan (IVVCC) who will provide well-constructed route books, making it an enjoyable event for all.
