Yes, it’s that time of year! It’s sports car season! The garage hibernation is over and it’s time for the MGEEEB to stick it’s nose from under wraps and to face the elements. The season starts later here in the northern latitudes, unlike the year-round season of Southern California. That may be one of the…
Have you heard the rumor that Moss Motors has opened an English operation? We sure have. In fact, so many people have asked that we felt it was high lime to set the record straight. Moss Motors does have a facility in England, but don’t pick up the phone to place an order. Moss Spares…
Once the ignition is switched off, the engine and water temperature in a car rise. Heat, once concentrated around the combustion chambers and exhaust manifold, now begins to spread generally throughout the engine block. Coolant is no longer pumped through the engine and can easily reach boil-over point. The temperature rise can be substantial, overheating…
One department within Moss Motors which we rarely discuss is returns. No one likes to return parts, but there are occasions when a return is necessary. You can simply pack the item in a box and send it back with no explanation, or you can call for a return authorization first. Admittedly, it sounds a…
While we MG enthusiasts are fortunate to have all the speed and performance equipment available to mildly change our MGs from factory stock to wild racing radical, much of it from Moss, it wasn’t always so. As the purchaser of a new 1952 MG TD while in college, the speed equipment available amounted to a…
More tips! This is the technical tip issue for Bob’sGarage. I have a number of tips, some based on comments and suggestions, and others which were sent in by customers. They all have one thing in common. We haven’t had room for them in previous Moss Motorings, so I thought I’d lump them together in…
Do we really have something to say about a car which went out of production in 1949? Most decidedly, yes! The first new MG model to hit the States since 1980 is here, and the Moss staffers just happened to be the first Americans to put one of these little beauties through its paces. But…
It’s Thursday morning and my fuel pump is dead. These two facts are normally of little consequence, but this happens to be the third week in August, and that means the Monterey Historic Automobile Races, which may be available to Betend, are coming. Every year a substantial percentage of Southern California walks off the job…
Most people first learn about generators at night on a back country road in the middle of nowhere. (Actually, about 100 yards from a house, but the middle of nowhere is so much more depressing.) You have one of those “English sports car needs minor electrical work” from the classified ads. Oh, the man who…
From Moss Motoring 1986 If you’ve been a Moss customer for the last few years, you’ll remember that we started 1984 and 1985 with a big sale on our leather upholstery kits. This year we chose not to. Here’s why.. . When we started making upholstery kits in our own plant a few years ago,…
