(It Could Have Been A Better Day Award)


2009

Derek Varney

For locking the keys in the boot of his 80th Anniversary TF at no less than three shows during 2009




2010

Dave Kerley

For breaking his steptronic gearbox the night before intending to go on the Abingdon to Geneva Re Run




2011

Simon & Julie Davies

For having their Trophy 160, 85th Anniversary TF and a Citroen crushed by an MPV whilst on their driveway, also demolishing the front of their house. Plus having the same 85th rear ended earlier in the year.




2012

Andrew Watson

Andrew brought a dilapidated MGF and set about creating an individual car with plenty of neons!. Crashed the car earlier in 2012 colliding with a tree which would normally have been a write off so It Could Have Been a Better Day. Instead of being a write off though the car has now been transformed for a second time




2013

Stuart Blease

Breakdown on European Event and recovery back to the UK




2014

John & Lyn Ponting

John & Lyn's TF was written off following an accident on the Luxembourg ring road on route for the 2014 Tour de Lux. Very soon after John replaced the TF with a LE500, which shortly after purchase, was hit by a people carrier, LE500 is now repaired and back on the road.




2015

Lin & Pete Opie

Lin for breaking her foot at MGFIM and Pete for having a car run into his stationary MGF on the way back from MGFIM.




2016

Michael & Marion Murkin

Michael & Marion Murkin were driving back from the German Neiderrhein Tour and were crossing Belgium with only a short distance to go to the ferry and unfortunately their TF was hit by a car coming towards them. Nearly every panel on the car was damaged and the car was a complete right off. A sad way for a car to end its life but it looked after its occupants really well.




2017

—--

There was no obvious winner for this  award, so it wasn’t awarded this year.




This award is created from Register Chairman Tim Morris's blown head gasket and is given to someone who really could have had a better day!
