Here is a great video from Shannons on the MGA and MGB. The MGB that is featured was restored by David Brett and then further restored by Lewis Fenech (both club members). Lewis has now sold the car to a new owner in Sydney.
Stage 3 and 4 Covid-19 Restrictions
For all our members, you will be affected by the latest round of lockdowns and restrictions. So that you are very clear on what these are, we suggest you read the following website – https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus
Restoration News
Despite the lockdown facing most Victorians, a number of our members are getting on with both minor and major restoration work. David Brett is one of those members and he is doing a complete restoration of an early model MGB he has christened “B3” (because it is the 3rd MGB he has bought and restored. ) Here is a sneak peek of it in his garage. I am sure David will keep us updated.
Please send us some pics of what you are doing during this “interesting” time. A new car? Repair work? Restoration” Let us know.

Coronavirus Urgent Notice
The Executive Committee met last evening as we face constantly changing circumstances related to COVID-19. It’s impact on the community, the membership demographics and the evolving risks for members participating in meetings and events was considered. It is the collective responsibility of everyone to ensure that we act with a sense of urgency and responsibility to both ourselves and those around us in an effort to minimise the transmission and impact of the virus.
It was therefore decided:
To cancel all club meetings and events until further notice.
We have just launched our new Facebook Group site which is only for members.
