Magazine Articles

When I bought TC4985 on 20th June 2015 I started recording details of its history, events that it took part in and jobs that I did on the car in a collection of web pages. I also have been writing small articles, mainly for the West Sussex MG Owners Club Main Gear monthly magazine. Here we have those articles.
