September MGB Register Meet
n Friday 16th September we held
O an MGB Register meeting at the clubrooms as a part of the weekly " Noggin ' n ' Natter ".
There was a reasonable turn out of faces , both B and non B owners , but there were only 4 MGs in the car park . This was all hardly surprising however given the recent lousy weather and night temperatures .
Particular thanks go to the Cardnell ' s for their support and contribution with the food , especially given they had held the MGA ** register meet at their place only the night before , so they must have been " registered out " by the end of the night .

During the evening we showed a UK documentary entitled " MG-The Legend ", which was followed by the last quarter of the Bulldogs / Hawks finals thrashing .
So thanks to all the die-hards who came and supported the evening .
Looking ahead to the next event , this will be in December and will be a car run , so stay tuned .
** PS : there is an interesting article in the October 2016 edition of " Classic and Sports Car " which compares the MGA Twin Cam very favourably with the Porsche 356B , Alfa Giulietta Sprint and Lotus Elite .

The MGB EX234
here is a very interesting article on page 202 of the July issue of the UK ' s " Classic & Sports Car " magazine entitled " The Sports Car That Could Have Saved MG ". http :// www . classicandsportscar . com
It is about a Pininfarina bodied prototype , coded EX234 , with hydrolastic suspension and developed in 1965 and which still exists having recently been auctioned by Bonhams for £ 63,100 ( AU $ 110,158 ) including premium .
Destined originally for greater things , this car had only a 1275cc " A-Series " engine , but for all that it seems to go Ok ..
