I now feel complete. I was honoured to deliver the inaugural talk of my UK Tour at the MGCC headquarters in Abingdon on Friday 9th April. The building, Kimber House, is the Mecca for the MG marque and I was fortunate enough to be the first to use the new extension suite due to officially come into commission in just a few weeks time.
Bridget looked resplendent under a spotlight at the rear of the suite. She is now running really smoothly and has had her interior restored to almost the state it was in when she started the journey. Nothing at all has been done to her external bodywork, except for some underseal, as she suffered so little damage during the adventure.
We will now be travelling to the Midlands and then on around the country returning to Abingdon again on the 14th May. All profits from the series will be donated to the UNICEF charity at the end of the tour and I am hoping we will make up some of the shortfall from the actual trip.
I will shortly announce the general route that I shall be taking around Europe starting sometime in the middle of June.

Having attended Roy’s inaugural talk at Kimber House last Friday I can recommend it to everyone.
Roy set himself an amazing challenge and the result has been fantastic experiences for himself, support of a worthwhile charity and proof of what can be achieved in a Midget. As the Midget advert used to claim, ‘You can do it in an MG’.
Thank you very much Simon. Very kind. - Roy
