MG Car Club of South Australia
MGA & MAGNETTE REPORT
From...Sandra Cardnell
W
ell our last meeting for the year.
We invaded Shelley and Bob
Bazzica’s West Beach home and ga-
rage. Such a great night bought out
most of the sports cars, seven A’s, two
MGB’s and a BGT together with the KN
of the hosts and Peter Coulson’s Tazza,
whatever that is.
We also had the
Hough’s Enzo, a Cooper S and a VW
Polo. Pat Mullin’s excuse for not bring-
ing out the A was that he had come
straight from work. I have included a
photo of the gleaming MGA taken at the
Kimber Run.
We may deviate from the Thursday
meeting on a couple of occasions be-
cause there may be a meeting at Mac-
clesfield and one at Hindmarsh Island.
These would have to be a Sunday run
and we would need to bring our lunch,
but more details early in the New Year.
Ken Burke attended the meeting, but
not in his capacity as Secretary of Reg-
isters. Ken has purchased, and is re-
storing, a Series 3 Magnette. It will be
good to see it when finished.
Because of the success of the Aldinga
Coffee Run, I intend to organize a Cof-
fee Run to the Mt, Lofty summit on 13
January 2019. There is the chance of
warm conditions, just a short run up
through Magill and back across to the
summit for coffee is planned.
We
should be home before the hottest part
of the day. NB Arthur reminded me
that there is paid parking at the summit,
so bring a couple of coins for the hungry
machine.
There was much interest in Bazz’s resto-
ration project – a TD Arnolt – the only
one in Australia. It is good to see the
work in the early stages, we will appreci-
ate the efforts of Bazz when it is finished,
hopefully towards the middle of next
year.
The superb Aston Martin and the latest
restoration project the KN also attracted
interest, especially when the Aston Mar-
tin bonnet was lifted and the engine
started. Great sound, which is important
to the enthusiast; twenty five enthusiasts
on the night.
So, the only thing to do now is to wish
all MGA, Magnette owners and other
Club Members a very happy Christmas
and good driving in the New Year.
We are winding down now towards
Christmas, so apart from the Annual
Dinner to be held at the Belair Hotel on
2 nd December, there is nothing else
planned for this year.

Next year however, we have the first
Register Meeting at the Club rooms on
17 January, 2019. The main item of busi-
ness will be to elect the Register Secre-
tary/Co-ordinator for the coming year/
years.
At that meeting we will be looking for
volunteers to hold a Register meeting.
