Maintaining an MGB in the 21st Century
– A new book by MG Car Club member Barrie Jones -
A new 80 page booklet written by Barrie Jones, detailing how to maintain the MGB
in the 21st century, will be published by the MG Car Club’s MGB Register in July
2009. Priced at just £10 it will be launched at MGLive! at Silverstone circuit,
July 10 to 12 2009 and will be available to purchase thereafter from the MG Car
Club 01235 555552 or www.mgcc.co.uk
Barrie Jones, a
lifetime MG enthusiast and qualified engineer, has written the book from his
experience and knowledge gained from owning and maintaining 18 MGBs. Packed with
detail and with an index that runs to three pages, the book covers all the major
aspects of MGB maintenance as well as looking at model variations.
Practical tips include how to strip and rebuild a gearbox which Jones hopes will
encourage others to undertake the task themselves. As well as mechanical
maintenance the book covers rebuilding the body, including the wings, sills and
rear quarter.
Don Hayter, the Chief Designer of the MGB and Danny Walters, the MG Car Club,
MGB technical expert, have both given the book their seal of approval, Danny
Waters, said “A gem of a book that every MGB owner should have in their glove
box. ”
Commenting on the book, Jones, said, “I am not suggesting that this book will
turn the amateur into a professional but it will give the reader an appreciation
of what needs to be done, with many jobs being within their scope.”
Barrie Jones and Don Hayter are expected to be on the MGB Register stand at
MGLive! on Saturday July 11 to discuss the book, individual problems and sign
copies of the book.

Dear All,
We are delighted to announce that the Club has a new General Manager who

His name is Julian White and he is an experienced manager who has been

I am sure you will get the opportunity to talk or meet with Julian in the
