Hi. My name is Trevor and although I grew up and worked in England most of my life, I now live in Canberra Australia. I am a member of the MG Car Club here and have held positions on the Committee in the past. Although I have owned a number of British cars when living there, my interest now is in MGs. I owned an early MGB roadster and then my pride and joy was a 1960 MGA, which I owned for almost 20 years. However, I sadly had to let her go after my wife had a total hip replacement and found it difficult getting in and out! I now own a 1978 MGBGT which was first registered in England in October 1978 and privately imported in Australia in 1982. Looking forward to learning from fellow members on this site.
 
welcome sounds like quite a history! glad you are here
 
Hello Trevor
Welcome to the forum.

You will get plenty of tips and advice for your 78 MGBGT in the MG section of the forum. The pub is an area where almost anything comes up for discussion.

Post some photos of your MGBGT.

Thanks David. Happy to post photos of my MGBGT. Can you please advise me where is the preferred place to post photos? Cheers
You can post right here for starters - you could also make a similar post over in the MG forum (when you post there the image will automatically also be added to the MG section of our Media section). But for this thread you can post a picture here.
 
Welcome, Trevor
Although I am a TR3 owner. I can always be willing to offer advice or such.
you will enjoy this site. Glad to have you in the group.
 
A couple of photos of my 1978 MGBGT.

Welcome to the British Car Forum. Nice pics of your car. Thanks for posting them.
 
Very nice looking MGBGT.

A friend in England had a MGBGT with the Rover V8 in it. Seem to remember it was very fast.

SWEET
What have you done to her? All stock?
Apart from replacing coolant hoses, some door seals and having the foam in the seats replaced, she is all original with matching numbers. I can trace history of ownership. I recently applied for a Heritage Certificate which has been approved. Just awaiting deliver. The last elderly owner had her for 28 years.
 
Really sounds like you got a good one. I replaced the springs in my TR3 seats with foam as well. Made all the difference from the OE springs.
 
Welcome! Nice GT!
I always seem to get my GT parked next to guys
like you at the cars shows.Everyone looks at the
other GT,& passes mine by.
