The MG Car Club, Wellington Centre
Our members are dedicated to 'Maintaining the Breed' & making it easier, cheaper & more enjoyable to own an MG. We also welcome like-minded enthusiasts who currently don't own an MG but are very likely to become "infected" over time.
We offer a wide range of activities from monthly Noggin 'N Natters through social runs to racing training & competitive events

RIP Alan Blundell
We are very sad to report that our club member Alan Blundell died unexpectedly on Wednesday 27th January. Alan had the lovely SS Jaguar Old No. 8 Replica which he built some years ago. He has raced at our November Classic a couple of times and in 2020 at our January Drivers' Training Day Bill Denize reports that he was lucky enough to go out with Alan in the SS for a few circuits around the Manfeild track. It was a beautifully built car and he had a number of Jags in his collection of cars. Several years ago the OSH Group enjoyed a very pleasant few hours over drinks and a BBQ at Alan and Marie's lovely home (since sold) they had on the hills above Waikanae where they had extensive workshop facilities for all his car projects. Alan was a very clever engineer. He will be much missed on club events.
