Breaking with the tradition that awards the Vintage Collier Cup to an MG racer selected by a vote of his or her peers as “best representing the spirit of MG vintage racers,” this year’s silver anniversary Collier Cup was awarded to all 53 MG racers who took part in the annual September SVRA event at Watkins Glen.
Each of the participants received a personal “Collier Cup” from the Collier family, together with a letter from Miles C. Collier, that read in part: “On behalf of my family, I would like to extend my most sincere thanks and appreciation for your 25 years of patronage in the Collier Cup and remembrance of my father, C. Miles, and my uncles, Sam and Barron, and their contributions to the MG marque in the USA, and to the origins of modern American road racing.”
