Promotional Materials

·        MG X-Power promotional flags from Le Mans 2002

“Hard to believe — but the flags are from LeMans 2002, 19 years ago.

I was there and asked the MG people for some flags after the race finished. They were happy not to have to carry them back home.” E. Dean Butler.

Thanks for joining me for this month’s ‘virtual finds table’.

I leave you with a little treat. Here is a promotional video of the MG X-Power team at Le Mans, 2002.

Until next time, Richard Roberts
