What a fantastic first Coffee & Classics morning here at DMG!
It was a very successful morning and we raised almost £300 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you to everyone that baked or bought cakes and to our wonderful customers for stopping by and supporting the event.
We even had a visit from our very own Mary Berry who judged the cakes and Fuzz Townshend popped in to show his support too.
A lovely MGB stopped by at David Manners Group on Wednesday.
We were visited by two gorgeous cars earlier this week when an MG and Jaguar S-Type stopped by! Check out these two beautiful motors.
We received a fantastic newspaper clipping from 1991 that reported on our very own Morris Minor expert Mike Lennon!
This great news item from Classic Motoring told the story of how Mike played an important role in preserving one of Britain’s most popular cars.
We are hosting our first ever Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday 29th September!
Why not stop by in your classic (or just have a nose at everybody else’s!) and fuel up on coffee and cake.
Pop in between 10am-12pm and enjoy a cup of coffee or slice of cake, lovingly made by the DMG staff, and support this fantastic cause.
The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event for people facing cancer.
David Manners was thrilled that a member of his team has been pursuing a very successful hobby outside of work. Lyn J. Greatrex has been a budding author for the last few years and has successfully published her ‘Hackers’ series of thriller books. David was delighted when Lyn signed his very own personal copies of these great novels.
We’re delighted to have teamed up with Practical Classics to help restore this rather special Mini, once belonging to Rowan Atkinson’s son!
We’ve already delivered several boxes of parts to the Practical Classics workshop, and we can’t wait to see the finished result – the aim being to restore it as closely as possible to Mr Bean’s iconic 1977 mini.
Much of the restoration work is being completed live on stage at the NEC Classic Motor Show in November, so be sure to book your tickets to come and visit us there!
On Saturday 9th September we hosted our first ever Jaguar & Daimler Open Day. Despite the inclement weather the event attracted a great variety of cars including gorgeous classic Jaguar MKII’s, E-Type’s, XK150’s, Daimler V8’s and modern X-Type’s and XK8’s to name but a few.
Take a look at the winners of our ‘Best In Show’ competition who won trade discount vouchers and a subscription to Classic Jaguar Magazine. Geoff Johnston from the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club scooped ‘Best Classic Jaguar’ and John England won ‘Best Modern Jaguar’. Congratulations also went to Jane Stanley owner of the ‘Best Daimler’. Our ‘Furthest Travelled’ prize went to a lovely couple who drove their Jaguar XF all the way from Great Yarmouth!
We’d like to say a huge thank you to Red Coffee Co, Footman James and Russ Carpenter Racing for helping make the afternoon such a success.
Great news – the event will be back in 2018! We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
We were visited by two gorgeous Jaguar MK2’s on Wednesday. Check out these stunning motors!
