Here is a report from our outpost in Mexico. Luis Benito is very enthusiastic there, and makes some publicity for his country as well. Surely a nice place to go....

Here am I back again after some weeks touring in Australia, where I met some very enthusiastic MAGNETTE owners. A first report already is online from Loz Scott, another from a meeting with the Sydney gang will follow soon. Thanks tp Stephen Tickell, who kept this site alive!
So, here we go with the news:
First I want you to inform, that there is a notice on John & Lou's website, that they are taking no orders at the moment, due to the recent high volume of orders.
Then we have pictures & report from David Halliday of the visit to Nuffield House, where 15 MAGNETTEs attended.

Happy 40th birthday to the Magnette Register
The Z Magnette Register was officially established on 10 March 1974, when it changed from being a sub-group of the MGA Register. This anniversary hasn't been publicized before because the exact date wasn't actually known for certain, but Register historian Peter Martin has now provided the copy seen here of 'Thirty-Six Thousand' issue No. 1 which absolutely confirms it. The title referred to the total production numbers of Z Magnettes, which was later revised to a higher figure.
The two-page newsletter can be downloaded here. Apart from introducing himself and other members of the new Register Committee, Hon. Secretary Andrew McMeekin invited subscriptions for future issues of the newsletter, at 50 pence per year (for four issues).
As we already have a full calendar of UK events planned for 2014, the committee have decided that the Somerset weekend (12-13 July) will also be our 40th anniversary celebration. It's hoped that some of the original Register members will be present, and that more of the early history can be made available.
