A R registered red MX-5 Mk1 is about to set off on an epic journey around the country to mark the 15th anniversary of the MX-5 Owners Club and the 20th anniversary of the car.

The journey will start at the Clubs Spring Rally, which is being held at the Elvington Air Museum in Yorkshire on Sunday 17 May. See the schedule here:-

The adventure will end four months later at Mallory Park racing circuit on Saturday 12 September at the Clubs National Rally. Here the car will be raffled in aid of Help for Heroes, the charity set up in 1997 to support British soldiers wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq.

We wanted to have fun and do something significant to mark this special year for the Club and the car, said Mino Manekshaw of the MX-5 Owners Club. We came up with the idea of buying an early Mk1, in excellent condition, and taking it to every one of our Areas on the UK mainland and Northern Ireland so that all our members could be involved in the anniversary celebrations and at the same time raise money for a worthwhile cause, added Mino.

During its four-month journey the car will appear at a number of car-related events including JAPS at Thoresby Park, Nottingham on Sunday 5 July; the Classic Car Show at Sherborne Castle, Dorset on Sunday 19 July and the Silverstone Classic Show from 24-26 July, as well as at MX-5 Owners Club local area events as the car travels around the country. Raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the cars journey with all proceeds, net of the direct costs of the prize and related marketing, being donated to Help for Heroes http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

The car can be seen at any of the scheduled events and also here:-
