From Moss Motoring 1983 It has been many years now, but oh, the shock, the shame of it! My husband Joe, confessed that he had feelings for another woman! They say that the wife is the last to know, but in the beginning I was so completely ignored that suspicion soon dawned, and then he…
From Moss Motoring 1984 Dear Sirs, The newsletter I just received was very interesting and amusing particularly the piece by Steve Hensley. I’ve been there before and I’ll be back again. I hope you will be continuing this newsletter Thanks, Keith A Lindstrom St Paul, Minn. ********** Hi, Here’s a suggestion from an Austin Healey…
From Moss Motoring 1983 We would like to take this opportunity to give you a chance to meet some of the Moss Motors’ people whom you might one day run across somewhere around the country… Name: Paul Johnson Home State: Ohio Occupation: Moss East Coast Club Representative I purchased my first MG, a 1948 TC, while…
From Moss Motoring 1983 My acquisition of the 1950 MG-TD I now own is interestingly humorous. Since 1969 when the MG was introduced to me (until then I hadn’t really noticed how beautiful a car it was) I had wanted to purchase one. Searching the classifieds in Feb. of 1982 I saw one for sale….

The shows I’ve attended have seen growing attendance and participation, articles I’ve read have increasingly been penned by younger writers, and the attention my cars have drawn is steadily skewing toward younger, technically adept and astute enthusiasts. I’m not talking about…
Are we, as owners of classic cars, alienating the next generation of automotive enthusiasts? It may just be possible that we are. Classic car shows and informal cruise-ins are perfect family outings. They are usually free of charge, conducted in a pleasant setting and give young people an opportunity to see the cars that their…
The following would not have taken place without belonging to a car club, and being involved in the British car community. Specifically, had we not been supported by the members of the San Diego MG Club, this would never have happened. MG Magnettes of the previous century were built as two major models: ZA, from…
It was love at first sight when I finally found my vintage Bustle Back Morgan +4. In the past, I have owned an MG TD and several Jag XKE’s, but had always been enamored with the classic Morgan +4 It has always been so elusive.
