If driving your classic sports car is your main passion, we invite you to join us for the Countryside Tour. It is hosted by the Greater Pittsburgh MG Club, with help from the Western PA Triumph Association. Participation is limited to sports & GT cars produced in 1983 and earlier*
Bud Osbourne conceived the Countryside Tour in 2012 as part of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Bud has handed over the reins to Derek Kuntz and Marla Taylor-Kuntz. Bud will still be involved, of course – thank you for all that you do, Bud.
The tour departs from the Ramada Inn in the lovely and historic town of Ligonier and follows a delightful collection of scenic, twisting, lightly traveled back roads through Pennsylvania’s beautiful Laurel Highlands. Be advised that this is a DRIVING tour and not for the faint of heart. We cover many miles, and it’s all back roads at a brisk pace!
Schedule – Thursday, July 17, 2025
Registration at Ligonier Ramada Inn: 8:00 AM
First Group Starts: 9:00 AM
Lunch at Jamison Farm: 1:00 – 2:30 PM
An alternate tour is available from Jamison Farm afterward
Optional Afternoon Tour
We’ve included an optional afternoon segment for the tour. This segment will feature well-shaded but gloriously twisting, plunging Pennsylvania back roads. We may also include stops at some local points of interest, both historical and recreational, before winding our way back to our “headquarters”, the Ramada Inn of Ligonier, for poolside cocktails and refreshments before heading out for dinner. Again, due to the distance from Pittsburgh, plus the special events planned for the night before the tour, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you book a room at the inn for Wednesday night.
Registration is $85.00 and includes both morning and afternoon tour segments, as well as lunch and refreshments for two people at Jamison Farm. Extra lunches are $35 each. Room reservations are up to the individual participants, and you MUST CALL the Ramada Inn of Ligonier (724-238-9545) and mention PVGP Countryside Tour to reserve your room.
