On this podcast, Wayne chats with Joe McGavin, the great-grandson of MG founder, Cecil Kimber about his knowledge of the man, the legacy that has been left behind and the tremendous pride he has in his family history. Of all the descendants of Cecil Kimber, Joe has the most interest in the story of MG so it's a wonderful treat to chat about what the man who started it all might have been like. 

In this episode, we catch up with Noel Lindford to hear the latest from behind the scenes of the California Cup AutoTest as he prepares for MG & Triumph 100 next weekend! 

In this episode, we have another of our interviews from the MG Abingdon Factory Workers Reunion. The day-long event takes place at Kimber House, home of the MG Car Club, near the location of the old factory, every year. 

MG may be about cars to most, but how they helped during the war did not go unrecognised – with some people regarding the work in Abingdon during World War 2 as the pinnacle of the company’s successful history. 

Iris Dixon sadly passed away earlier this year, but before she did, we were privileged to be able to spend some time with her to record some of her amazing stories, plus those of her sons Barry and Clive, who also worked at "The MG". This family's tale covers MG production of the Tempest aircraft right the way through to the 1970s and MG Midget production. 

We share this recording as a tribute to an amazing lady and an amazing life.

James Davis’s father bought his MGA Twin Cam in 1964 and over the course of the next 53 years, enthusiastically drove it on both road and track across the world from the UK to Barbados and Canada. The MGA had always featured in James’s life and he always assumed that one day, it would be his. Sadly though it had to be sold in Canada during 2016 to fund his Dad’s Alzheimers healthcare. But years later, and after the passing of his father, James has managed to buy the car back through an incredible twist of fate. James is now using it to raise money and awareness around Alzheimers Disease.

In 1935 Maurice Toulmin, was a member of the winning Cream Cracker MG Works Trials team in both the 1935 Exeter Trial and the 1936 SUNBAC/NWLMC Team Competition in his PB. 

The history of trialling is absolutely key to pre-war history of MG and so it’s a great honour to have Maurice’s son Jonathan Toulmin on the podcast with us as we settle in for a two part conversation sharing the stories from that fantastic era of MGs in motorsport.

In this episode of the MG Car Club Podcast, we talk to Josh Langstaff, one of the younger members of the MG Car Club about his introduction to MG that has not only fuelled a passion for cars but has also a whole new career aspiration for him as well.
