MGC New book: MGCs Down Under

Hello all, particularly antipodean MGC owners,


The Book, ‘MGCs Down Under’, by Ian Hobbs, is now available after a long gestation.

I've just received my copy and Ian is happy for me to pass on the details for those interested in acquiring a copy.


Description:
The chapters cover a range of topics from the creation of the MGC, with a particular focus on the Australian connection, personal stories from MGC owners, Bruce Ibbotson’s modification and Richard Mixture’s technical ramblings, to how the new MGC ended up Down Under in Australia, New Zealand and Papua. It also includes a list, with thumbnails photos, of MGCs in Australia and New Zealand - who knows, your MGC might be there.

‘MGCs Down Under’ is 285 mm x 217 mm with 208 pages and full of useful photos.

What it costs:
It's excellent value at $79 for the soft cover, $110 for the hard cover (only 100 copies available) and $13 postage in Australia.

How to get a copy:
Please send the author, Ian Hobbs, your mailing address and let him know which Book cover you’d like. He’ll send you an invoice and once the money has been received, He’ll post off your book. His email address is: mgc(at)picknowl.com.au.

Quotes:
“No other MG book that I have, has so much technical information about problems and the fixes required, it should become a reference book for MGC owners.”

It is a “totally different style of MG book written by MGC owners not Journalists or Authors. This is probably the best ever book on the MGC/GT, as it is humorous and technical all at the same time.”


Regards,
Mark
