MG Car Club of South Australia
Robert Horn gave a brief rundown on
his cars, members are most welcome
to drop in and talk to him about anything if they like, he has many spares
including eleven round TF tail lights if
you are running short, it’s an interesting story as to how they came about.
TD MC Nabb did some “ forensic”
work on Robert’s TD checking the
identification, chassis and engine
numbers as you do. According to TD
the car was built on a Tuesday after a
long weekend in November 1951, that
is why it is so good. The car has some
features of a later model which is interesting. The paintwork is the original
colour , the first of the metallic style
paint we are told by Robert Horn confirmed also by Laurie Foody who also
donned a dust coat for the forensics.
Don Walker is contemplating acquiring another TC, he feels lonely without one to drive around in.
Thankyou to Terry Wright and TD for
taking photographs for the magazine
and website.
There is a very strong rumour that we
will be invited to the lair of the serial
pest, who I might add has been behaving exceptionally well of late, to
Lyndoch in the Barossa Valley during
daylight hours for a register meeting
and viewing of the famous Neilson TC
under renovation & restoration in
2017. Only a rumour at this stage but
momentum is growing.
Future meetings.
Hopefully July will be at David & Joy
Pearson’s, Suffolk Road Hawthorndene on 7 July.
August is not finalised however it may
be on a Friday night at the MG CC
clubrooms to assist the club with the
bar trade, this will be confirmed but
please keep it in mind. Some members are unable to come on a Thursday I am told.
Finally, the wrap up.
Thanks again to Robert & Bev, I really
hope that we get to go back again
sometime, it was a great experience.
Winter is just about on us but do not
let that deter you, the meetings are
still fun and you get to wear those
WW2 flying jackets, helmets, goggles
and funny furry hats like Ian Hobbs.
