18. MG South Downs Run - September 7
The South Downs Run is a scenic and non-competitive drive of about 70 miles along the beautiful South Downs from Bury Hill to Eastbourne in Sussex. More than 220 cars are expected this year, and entries span the MG range from the earliest to the latest models. The event is free to spectate and the Western Lawns provide the perfect place for a picnic with the attraction of a 1950s Rock & Roll band playing in the afternoon. Photo: VisitEastbourne
