By Willie Alexander I replaced all the weatherstripping and glazing on the windshield of my 1979 MGB. A review of online forum posts indicated installation of the windshield would be a challenge. I dry fitted the windshield and found the forward lip section and bottom tubular section of the ‘windshield to body seal’ creating interference…
By Rob and Tommie Camblin The 2017 Moss Motoring Challenge would be our third endeavor to visit as many locations as possible while enjoying our MGs. My wife, Tommie and I are fortunate enough to take care of three of Britain’s finest examples of English motoring design; a 1951 MGTD, 1962 MGA Mk II, and…
Manhattan Mechanic By Norman Tuck I owe a debt to a handful of men, my friends and mentors from my past. I feel that it is important to offer a glimpse, however fleeting, of the lives of a diverse class of skilled workers who shared a love for British automobiles of the period, yet have…
Recently me and the missus drove our 1962 MGB out to Phoenix from Santa Barbara. (I say 1962 even though technically it is known as a ’63 to the DMV. However, as it was built 37 years ago on April 18, 1962, that’s what it is—a ’62!) We battled our way round the eternal freeway…

It was about 10:30pm on a chilly January night when I received the phone call from my brother. His voice was sullen as he asked me a question I knew was borne in pain and being offered with trepidation. “Can you help me get Maggie going again? It’s time to sell her.” He had finally…
I was surprised when my wife suggested that we enter the Moss Motoring Challenge. Lisa figured it would get us out of the house to experience our state. Tourists come from all over to visit Colorado, yet there was so much we hadn’t seen. That was shortly before Memorial Day – a late start –…
I’ve always been a “Gearhead Gal,” and always will be. I mean, c’mon, how can you not when you have a dad like mine? I grew up in the shop, covered in grease, and surrounded by beautiful cars. We’ve owned all types of them, but we’ve always had a thing for MGs (we’re on number…
Alan Patterson Moss Europe customer Alan Patterson, MGCC Norwester Competitor, reports on fitting the MGB Dynamic Suspension to his MGB. Originally a Moss Europe product, it’s now available here in the US. I am an out and out enthusiast of the MG marque in general, and of the MGB roadster in particular. As an enthusiast,…
