I got a new/old Alloy Valve Cover, very early 70's not the Mary Shelley stuff that they sell now a days.

I got a new trick digital camera, so now my pictures I post here will be better quality :smile:

Not that there was anything wrong with the old pics, but I think we all got a present.

Car-related, I got a fancy pair of leather driving gloves.

Increases BHP by 5%, I'm told . . . :crazyeyes:
 
Some spray paitning equipment.

Nothing promotes domestic tranquility like my spending time out in the Garage.... :jester: :devilgrin:
 
Santa came early for me. I got an engine kit "some assembly required". :smile:
 
I got a Rallye de Monaco Reg. Tag 1966 for my office Its perfect!No Idea where my sister got.
 
A couple interesting Healey-related books:

Austin Healey by Geoffrey Healey
LeMans '55, the crash that changed the face of motor racing by Christopher Hilton

Also got Ultimate Garages and Ultimate Garages II for those days when I need some extra motivation to get out into the garage and get to work.
 
I got a renetto canopy chair (https://www.canopychair.com/) to take the the field meets,... AND a windblocker for the '66. I'm set for next show season!
 
I was the (lucky) recipient of a brand new SU HIF6/44 carburetor, Maniflow intake manifold, K&N air filter, etc.

Two books - Restoring Sprites & Midgets, Bristow and Tuning the A-Series Engine, Vizard.
AND a heater for my workshop!!! Am I excited, now when it's sub-zero and can't take'er out for a drive, I can at least work on'er. Wishing All a Blessed and Safe New Year - Magyar
 
I made sure to do my own shopping, then I distributed my "gifts" to the kids who then "gave" them to me:

- Complete gasket set for a 1275 (Daughters #2 & #3)
- Bugeye owners handbook (Daughter #4)
- Engine paint and metal "Austin" and "Patents" decals (Daughter #1)
- A sway bar (still coming in the mail)(Son - only one)
- Wishbone bushings, metal heater decals, accelerator pedal, battery tray/clamp/bar - from Moss UK (Wife), but not arrived.

I even bought a 72 Midget on Tuesday for good measure to part out. It has a British Leyland radio - pretty cool!

I got gift cards to buy a new air compressor, the coolest little craftsman shop wet/dry vac and a new watch!
 
Only MG related gift was Vizard's book, Tuning the A Series Engine and I'm eating it up! Thanks Santa, er, uh, wife really.

That's gunna look awesome on your black Midget!
 
Thanks Jeff, I think so too. I have been dreaming and scheming about a red top for months. Apparantly, so was my wife. She made all the arrangements. Picked out the color of stayfast canvas that matches the interior amazingly well, and had the top made. It was under the tree waiting yesterday morning.
