Randall and Russell recently used MGB power to transport Mr and Mrs Claus at their tree lighting Ceremony.
The 1973 red MGB was rebuilt by father and older brother of Randall, now passed down through the family. The latest custodian Randall also says that most of the family have worked on the 'B' and is his current daily driver.
Merry Christmas

MGB Register – A Request
The MGB Register carries details of over 19,000 cars and as you can imagine, it is a big task to keep this up to date. We have many cars on the register where we have lost touch with the owners. Many cars will have sadly been scrapped and others sold on to new owners who have not contacted us.
If you haven’t registered your car with us since 2017 then please Re-register it at www.mgb-register.org/register/ we will then update our records. If you are not sure if it’s on the register, then register it anyway.
We will check if your car is known to us, update the register and reply to you.

Sepsis Awareness is in the thoughts of John Watson a lot of the time. For those who do not know, John was hit by Sepsis in March/April 2018. Since then he attends quite a lot of awareness campaigns and we would like to share some of this information with you.
Did you know Sepsis affects 27 to 30 million people every year worldwide, 7 to 9 million die – one death every 3.5 seconds.
If you would like more information regarding Sepsis please visit https://www.mgb-register.org/sepsis-awareness/
