Newsletter Archive

The two tables below contain links to the newsletter archives. The paper copies were provided by Allen Bachelder (everyone say "Thank You" to Mr. Bachelder...), and the scanning and .PDF-ifying were done by Jeff Arendas (everyone say "Thank You" to Mr. Arendas...). The links will open the newsletter in your current browser window, so:

  • just use the "Back" button to get back here or,
  • right-click and select "Open in New Window"
  • Right Click and Select "Open Link in New Tab" for those of you using Mozilla Firefox.

By the way, these are Adobe Acrobat .PDF files, so you will need a .PDF file reader. Go here to get Adobe's.

Also, be aware that these are quite large files, so if you are on a dial-up connection, be patient.

I've attempted to get the newsletter articles somewhat categorized by topic. The list below has 3 tiers of "Topics" listed, from the most general to the more specific. The "Issue" column has the links, and the "Page" column should tell you roughly which page the topic starts on. Some of the top-level categories may need some explaining:

  • Group - Items about the Z Magnette Group - North America, its members, and origins.
  • Article - An article written for the ZMG-NA Newsletter
  • Reprints - A reprint of a period article or advertisement in the Newsletter.
  • Photos - Photos of Group Members and their cars
  • Tech - Technical tips (See also the Technical section of the site)

Activities

  • The Registry Form provides a handy way to add, or update your information for the Group. IF you already own a Magnette, please include as much infomration about your car as you can.
  • We are also associated with NAMGAR (the North Americam MGA Register), so your registry with us applies there as well. While there are some differences between the cars (and we did come first), NAMGAR is a valuable resource for Mag-nuttes.
  • We also have an Archive of Jeff Powell's newsletters. These are a real treasure-trove of useful infomration for restoration and maintainance of a Magnette.
  • For those who wear their affiliations on their sleeves, or backs, or over their left shirt pocket, or... we have Regalia (that's "stuff you can wear").
