The forerunner to the 1st Biggar Vintage Rally was a special exhibition held in Biggar in 1971 to commemorate 100 years since the birth of Thomas Blackwood Murray, a son of the town and co-founder of the Albion Motor Car Company. His widow, Hettie, who by then was well into her nineties, sent an audio message which was played at the opening of the exhibition and this can be heard at this link.
