Greetings from the MGA Guru. I bought my first MGA when I was a sophomore in college in 1968 (just needed cheap transportation). Had three in one year (one at a time), gave it up when I got married. Had a few odd car diversions in between, but bought my current MGA in 1977, restored it, got it back on the road in late 1986. I have driven it 460,000 miles more since then, now 610,000 miles on this car and still driving it daily. In fact it is now the only car I own.
Most everything you may want to know about me can be found on my web site http://MGAguru.com . There you can find over 4000 web pages of technical information for MGA (and vintage British cars in general). There is also an ongoing travel log for the road trip my son and I have been doing, over 200,000 miles all over North America since May 2014. We have visited about 300 car clubs (mostly MG and all-British) in USA, and 50 to 60 more in Canada. I have been seeking out the car owners, especially those who may have problems with their cars, and doing personal tech sessions (teaching the owners how to service their own cars). Teach enough people how to fix the cars, and eventually we may get them all back on the road. We have been tinkering with about 2 cars per week (average), something over 600 cars assisted (so far).
Since late 2015 we have been visiting shops that supply parts, rebuild components, service and restore vintage British cars (more ways to get the cars back on the road). There is now a list of more than 1100 shops in North America, most with photos and notes from our visits. Think North American Yellow Pages for Vintage British Cars.
Having made the rounds of the clubs and shops, we are continuing to seek out more. Also open to suggestions for what we may be able to do in the near future in the best interest of vintage British cars. So far no plans to stop what we are doing, but there is some limit to this, as I turned 70 in 2019, and the calendar keeps running.
