MG Australian Meet
While we were staying Launceston, Tasmania, I noticed all sorts of MGs
driving in the area. I discovered the Australian MG club was holding
their national meet in Launceston that weekend. It seems that every
time
an event like this is held, we've either just missed it or it will
happen the week after we've left, so I was happy to be in Launceston
for the MG show.
Launceston was a great place to hold a meeting like this as the scenery
was nice, and the roads in the area was perfect for touring little
English cars. Everything from T series cars to modern MGs were present
at the show, but I was drawn to this MGGT V-8. It was obvious the owner
completed a ground up restoration on this car, and it was perfect.
All the details were met with meticulous accuracy, and I was impressed
with the restoration.
There were a number of "drivers" present at the show as well, and I
loved
seeing the TCs, and TDs driving about town. Packing for a weekend in
one of these cars must make for a challenge as they make the MGBs look
roomy!
