MG Car Club of South Australia
A Visit to Mike Sherrell’s Place
After a very enjoyable sea voyage on
the MS Astor from Outer Harbour near
Port Adelaide Jan & I headed to Fre-
mantle (Read Freo!) on a delightful 6
day cruise ( Read Food/ Wine Fest!) and
arrived in Western Australia on a de-
lightful autumn morning in March, still in
Australian waters all the way.
I had previously sent an email to Mike
Sherrell letting him know that we were
heading over his way.
We only had a few days in Freo but
managed to do a bit of sightseeing, out
to the Car Museum in York and this trip
included catching up again with Mike.
We called on him mid-morning to find
his home is also his office and workshop
and living on a corner block in South
Perth means that he can have dual ac-
cesses.
We were lucky enough to see Mike as
he had just taken delivery of the first
32
batch of his new publication, which is a
continuation of his very famous book ”
TCs Forever”.
Mike very kindly posed for the photo
showing both copies and the photo was
taken in his workshop, in the back-
ground you can see his own amazingly
original and very reliable black TC, one
he has owned since he was 16 years old
and he has driven this car over 600,000
Miles.
His other MG is a wonderfully distinctive
silver and green blown road and track
machine and he is at present building up
a similar car for another TC aficionado
but this time in black with red from a do-
nor TC from SA.
If anyone wants to obtain a copy of this
new edition please contact Mike direct
via email on [email protected].
