The magazine, in conjunction
with this website, is collecting pictures for the
online gallery and for one each month in the magazine.
The format, for the magazine, will be answers to
a series of questions plus a short piece by the
owner as to why they have the car.
No more than
100 words so it is not a daunting process. Is the
car driven by both and do you both enjoy ownership.
Have you taken it to interesting or exotic places
i.e. Brean Down! France, Scotland, anywhere? Send
a picture at no more than 600 pixels along the longest
edge (preferably no bigger than 100kb -
for help on resizing pictures click this icon  )
but if you are unsure, just
email

How often does it go out?: frequently
Who cleans and polishes it?: me
Your most enjoyable drive?: annual Le Mans trip
Stories about car: I enjoy driving the car because
it's so different from my recently-purchased Dagenham
dustbin - noisy,cold,poor brakes,thirsty engine, heavy
steering, etc. Usual MG attributes! But once on the
move all the above shortcomings disappear with the
back-to-basic driving required of such a car. And
of course meeting the inevitable old fart who stops
to reminisce about the time he owned an MG. It's a
different world!
