The Event

Seven colorful cars parked in front of Shuttleworth aircraft hangar with airplanes inside, under a partly cloudy sky.

2026 sees the MG ZR, ZS & ZT range achieve a milestone in its fascinating history; one of ingenuity, survival and market success.

To give these fine cars an anniversary fitting for a range of their caliber, ZED25 always set out to be something different, something truly memorable and relevant to the range’s history.

So, for ZED25, we’re going back to where for many, the love affair all began, South Wales. It was here, in July 2001, the newly formed MG Rover Group launched the ZR, ZS and ZT to the press and dealer network.

Using the same venues and even routes as those driven 25 years ago, ZED25 will take participants through some of the best driving routes, and events at historically-significant venues, where you’ll get to hear from those involved in the design, build and launch of the cars!

ZED25 will begin on Friday 3rd July 2026, at St David’s Hotel in Cardiff, both our base for the weekend, as it was for the launch. We’ll wrap the weekend up in the Brecon Beacons on Sunday 5th.
