The NORTH AMERICAN MGB REGISTER was formed in late 1990 as the result of a strong demand for a non-porfit, democratic organization which would be run BY MG enthusiasts, FOR MG enthusiast, wherein:

• Each and every member would have a voice on policy
• The officers would be elected by the membership and would offer them selves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.
• The finances of the REGISTER would be open to all, at any time.
• The MGB REGISTER would be dedicated to maintaining and expanding interest in Britain's most popular sports car .. the MGB.
• The MGB REGISTER membership would be open to all, with no restrictions, and where the ownership of an MGB is not a condition of membership.
• ACTIVITY, ENTHUSIASM and DEDICATION are cherished.

At the foundation meeting, attended by enthusiast from three continents, it was agreed that the MG MIDGETs and the MG 1100/1300s would be welcomed into the MGB REGISTER and would be actively supported by their own sub-registers. Recently, post 1980 MGs like the RV8 and MGF have been welcomed as well.
