    Geoffrey Iley And The Six-cylinder Mg Magnette
    There are many anecdotes that Geoffrey Iley shared – sadly far too many to do justice to here – but an example is the day when he took out the one-off six-cylinder MG Magnette for a test drive: “I was coming back into the factory – I had just turned

    Geoffrey Iley
    We were sad to hear of the death of Geoffrey Iley, one of the last remaining MG and BMC management figures from the heydays of the fifties and sixties. Still going strong in his nineties, it was remarkable to appreciate that Geoffrey was born around

    MG Century 100 Years – Safety Fast!

    Testing Times…
    They say that if something appears too good to be true, then it probably is. In the case of my bargain ZS 120, it’s certainly proving to be the case. Alas, then, a disheartening month at MGE HQ left me wondering for a while if FG53 PLF was worth pers

    One In, One Out…
    As regular readers will probably have worked out, I suffer from a compulsive car buying disorder. So, when I was offered a really smart TF 135 locally, and at a ridiculously tempting price, there really was only one possible outcome. With two MG TF 1

    Clean Sweep
    We all have a trigger which ignites our passion for MGs. It might have been seeing an advert for one many years ago, having our first ‘wind in the hair’ ride in a roadster when we were kids or seeing them race on tracks and on rally stages. Geoff Cla
