Totally agree with all the above. Running a car from an extinct British manufacture (ZT CDTI) in rural France is one thing, running a rare car Q car in this situation is another thing entirely! The confidence the club gives makes this possible. Both MG's get plenty of admiring glances out here, and have given fantastic service, we rely upon them entirely for our business. We run photographic workshops, quite a few guests are 'petrol heads' from the UK, but hardly any know the V8's exist!
I would never have bought my car if the 260's wasn't there and as others say the car is so rare outside UK. I've never owned a car more then 2-3 years but #217 has been with me for more than 6 years now and still pleased with it and feeling confident that I can fix most of the problems that will occure with the help of the collective!:-)
A big thanks to you all!
There is no substitute for cubic inches!
Just plain good helpful folks. Merry Christmas all.

Yes indeed the power of bulk knowledge.I'm glad it's grown the way it has. The thoughts originally were along the lines the club has developed but I'd say its influence was not and that has to be good in keeping these classics on the road.
