If you're attending the MG & Triumph inter-club weekend, 28-30 June, look out for the Magnette Register gazebo in the main MGCC area. Also please note that the NTG Concours trophy will be judged at the event on Saturday and Sunday - so you'll need to be there on at least one of the days in order to enter. As Magnettes won't necessarily be parked together, please come to the gazebo and let us know if you wish your car to be judged

Two new articles have been added. Ian Williams has provided useful notes and photos on fitting a 5-bearing engine (using the sump adapter plate originally developed by Allan Bachelder) to supplement information previously contributed. Also John Beesley made a discovery totally by chance of some original drawings used by Pressed Steel Ltd to construct Magnette bodyshells. As well as being of historical interest these will be helpful to anyone trying to reproduce all details of the body panels and welding points
