MGA/MAGNETTE REGISTER MEET-
ING HELD AT THE MG CAR CLUB
CLUBROOMS ON
21 ST SEPTEMBER 2017
We met at the Clubrooms instead of the
usual member’s garage this month. 22
members came along and there were 6
MGA’s, including the British Racing
Green 1500 owned by Gary and Velli
Algate. This was displayed in the back
annexe because Gary and Velli have
recently had a new hood fitted. Al-
though black is the original colour for the
model, they went with the tan stayfast
canvas. It looks really good and just
needs a little settling in time before go-
ing back to Frank Spencer (yes that’s
right, but not the one from Some Moth-
ers Do Hav’em) at Greenacres for some
tightening and other adjustments. Thank
you to Gary and Velli for bringing the A
to the meeting for us to check out the
hood.
Because a couple of MGA 50 th Anniver-
sary badges were not picked up, I have
four spares if anyone is interested - $55
(incl GST).
Allan Semmler (MGA Twin Cam) an-
nounced that he is winding up his engi-
12
neering business, but will retain some
equipment at the Superloc premises.
He had made a part for Scott Stephen-
son’s car - it looked like a disc with a
groove around the outside – and I can’t
remember what it was called. He is will-
ing to undertake manufacturing small
parts for members if they are unable to
source parts elsewhere (he mentioned
charging, but it would not be exhorbi-
tant, just enough for him to keep his
hand in).
Geraldine advised that the Vintage
Collingrove on 1 st October would see
Arthur’s ND
