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