There may be additional venues added before the start and updates will be displayed here. The tour is being promoted by the MGCC, but is open to anyone wishing to attend. E-mail roy.locock@btinternet.com for further details.
Preparing Bridget for the tour is now a priority. She needs a new windscreen, the twin SU’s need rebuilding, replacement mirrors and window winders are required and the interior needs renovating. I have a replacement windscreen glass, kindly donated by Mike Authers of Abingdon. Mike restores and sells MG Midgets for a living, and has for the past twenty years.
It’s amazing how one can pass hours of fun on a Sunday afternoon dismantling and rebuilding SU carburettors, dismantling and rebuilding, and dismantling and rebuilding. Then you discover the reason it isn’t right is that the supplier has given you two different length jets and not a matched pair. Don’t you just love ‘em!
