I was doing some research recently and fell down a bit of a rabbit hole, having stumbled across the fact it’s now five years since the MG Car Club launched its ‘Save Our Zeds’ campaign. As a Z-Car lover myself (I even once wrote a book on them, I lov

The 1930s were an era when Britain was famous for building record-breaking cars and drivers like George Eyston, John Cobb and ‘Goldie’ Gardner were schoolboy heroes. When Dinky Toys arrived on the scene, in 1934, it was inevitable that many of these

A surprise reveal at Geneva alongside the MG3 was a brace of larger models, drawn from the China-only ‘Rising Auto’ or ‘R’ brand, which sits alongside MG and Roewe in the SAIC portfolio of brands. In China, the Rising Auto 7 is well-regarded as a lux

Last time, we left my Magnette with the fuel system foibles seemingly sorted but with the clutch hydraulics still defective despite a new slave cylinder. The issue here was that air was getting into the system as quickly as it was being bled out. And

Keith Warner is a man who loves his classics. He’s a keen member of the Midget and Sprite Club and the Harrow Car Club and you’ll find him at the iconic Ace Café, on London’s North Circular Road, on the first Tuesday evening of every month with his b

Q I would be grateful if you could give me some advice about a starting problem which I have with my 1965 MGB Roadster. In 2015 I fitted a PowerLite geared starter motor, supplied by the MGOC. It made a huge difference to the ease of starting the old

Alongside the MG offerings at Geneva, SAIC unveiled examples of the separate ‘IM’ brand. The IM LS6 is a coupe-SUV whilst the L6 is a saloon. The L6 saloon made its global debut at the Geneva Show. IM stands for ‘Intelligent Mobility’ and it is descr

MG has always done things differently. The cars of the late 1980s are remembered with great fondness by enthusiasts. It was an era when hot hatchbacks were at their peak. These cars were small but practical, looked great and were huge fun to drive. P

The Cyberster was also shown at Geneva with more colour options; the Dynamic Red launch colour is joined by New English White and two metallic paint choices, Camden Grey and Cosmic Silver. Taking a popular MGB and Midget paint colour name from MG’s s

Chase Sharpe has felt the need for speed since he was six years old, when his dad, Henry, bought him his first kart. Ever since that moment, he’s been racing mad and now, aged 13, he’s getting ready to compete in tin tops. His car of choice… an MG, o

I must admit that I was becoming tired of having to attach my battery-operated tyre inflator to the front tyres of our GT every time I needed to use the vehicle, and my neighbours were probably also getting fed up with the noise of its small compress

Last month I introduced my unexpected, auction-bought L ZS 120; a car that I’d had no intention of buying but couldn’t leave unbought. Fast forward a few weeks and I’ve now got a better idea of what I found. First up, the ABS issue that was causing t

Looking back, now over twenty years ago (it still feels L like only a few years ago), the MG ZR was such an important car for MG Rover Group as, in my opinion, it almost on its own gave us the chance to survive longer, more than any other car or init

A problem as frustrating as an engine being difficult to start from cold isn’t particularly easy to fix, especially if, once the engine has finally deigned to start and got warmed up, it will then start again without issue. At that point you must lea

One of the most fascinating aspects of motoring history is the subject of ‘what might have been’. Every manufacturer goes through a process of designing and building prototypes which are either abandoned or refined into something more suitable for ma

Just as this issue of MG Enthusiast was going to press, we learned of the sad demise of the MG Car Club’s MG Live event at Silverstone – a stalwart of the MG social and events scene for many years. But as the MG Car Club has pulled away from motorspo
