Occasionally, my wife Barby will let me drive her 1952 MG TD down to the beach; other times I can take the Moss 1959 TR3 for a spin over the beautiful Santa Ynez mountains that frame Goleta, and friend of mine with a Bugeye Sprite can be coerced into the loan of the car for…
Of my many visits to Abingdon in the seventies, it always surprised me that many of the men and women who labored at the “Gee,” as the plant was known, didn’t even own a car, never mind an MG. Most of them traveled to and from their modest homes, located in the surrounding rural countryside,…
By Robert Goldman As Moss Motors enters its 70th year in business, we are buffeted by some basic facts of life. To have driven an MG TC at 16 years of age in 1948, one must be 86 years old today. Those folks, and the ones who came shortly behind, are leaving us. Back around…
We recently received an interesting letter from Phil Smith of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, who last year completed a five week, 10,000 mile camping trip to the west coast and back, accompanied by his wife. Coincidentally I, accompanied by my wife, recently transferred out to our California Corporate Headquarters and made the 3,200 mile journey from…

Looking through the many club magazines that were submitted for the Moss Journalism Awards (and I really have to congratulate you on your splendid efforts), there were a couple of features of club life that were the subject of comment and opinion over and over again. I noticed in several instances, that the age-old question of…
Safely back home in California, now seems a good time to reflect upon our traveling Moss Road Show this past summer. Over 18,000 miles saw us attending 19 different British car oriented events, bearing the Moss message that we really care about keeping your classic going strong because that’s all we do! As we last…
By now the summer season is well under way, but I would like to start this column by taking care of a little bit of business which consumed a great deal of time last winter! I refer, of course, to the 1990 Moss Journalism Awards, and what a terrific selection of club publications our judges had…
Go east, young man! Once again, we’ve hauled the Mossmobile away from the California sunshine and over the Rockies to yet another season of British Car events back east. However, before we started out we had an exciting weekend on the west coast with a tremendously successful MG Marque Day and the conclusion of the…
