The rare yellow Lotus 6 used to come to the Palo Alto meet but obviously moved down south - these cars were fitted with MG T-series running gear at the factory. Dave Hill's amazing little yellow Bugeye used to be in LA but now lives up the coast, The big prewar MG saloon in the upper right corner was quite a treat and the Cosmic wheeled Anglia was a rare sight indeed. Another car of note is Randy Williams recent "resto-rodization" gray Minor split windscreen Traveller. Those from the SF Bay Area will remember this car as the pale yellow wagon that George Kelson of San Francisco redid over 20 years ago with slot mags and a tan bonnet stripe. It was eventually sold to the Pelican Inn at Stinson Beach in Marin and became part of their forecourt display with their Minor passport van. Randy stripped it to the floorpan and restored it in the original gray with a bunch of added wood, wire wheels and many improvements. This was its first official showing. We are getting ready for the Palo Alto meet on September 8th & 9th - Information below - Hope to see you there. Best, editorRick *********************************************************** Daimler to get its name back in deal with Ford Automotive News Europe August 23, 2007 STUTTGART, Germany (Reuters) - DaimlerChrysler has paved the way to rename itself Daimler AG by striking a deal with Ford Motor Co. to use the name now owned by British brand Jaguar, the companies said today. Premium carmaker Jaguar acquired rights to the Daimler name in 1960 when it bought the British offshoot set up by German automotive pioneer Gottfried Daimler in 1896. The company went on to supply Britain's royal family with luxury vehicles. Its name still appears on some high-end versions of Jaguar cars, now part of Ford's European family of premium car brands that are up for sale. DaimlerChrysler "will now be allowed to use the name alone or in combination with other words as the title of a trading company, a trade name or a corporate name," a Ford spokesman said, citing a Ford position paper from mid-May that was not put out as a news release. "The extended usage agreement does not, however, affect either company's existing right to use the Daimler name for a product." The deal was put in place before DaimlerChrysler agreed in May to sell a majority stake in U.S. arm Chrysler Group to private equity company Cerberus Capital Management, the spokesman said, declining to give any financial details. A DaimlerChrysler spokeswoman also declined to say how much the Stuttgart-based carmaker paid Ford for the Daimler rights. DaimlerChrysler shareholders will meet on Oct. 4 to decide on changing the company's name. The proposal has come under fire by critics in Germany who say it ignores the contribution of Carl Benz, whose early work in developing cars helped lead to the creation of Daimler-Benz AG, the group's name before it merged with Chrysler in 1998. submitted by John Voelcker ************************************************************* China-made MG cars to go on sale next month Automotive News Europe August 24, 2007 SHANGHAI (Reuters) -- Iconic MG brand cars will go on sale in China next month, priced between about $23,000 and $40,000, as its new Chinese owner moves to revive the failed British brand. Nanjing Automobile (Group), which took control of the major assets of MG Rover in 2005, said its Nanjing MG Automotive unit will officially launch the MG 7 series through its nearly 50 dealers nationwide in September. But the company already received 3,200 orders during a July road show in selected cities, a company official said. "The MG brand is not well known in China, but many people who test-drove the car said they liked it," the official told Reuters. The long version of the MG 7 with a 2.5-liter engine will sell for 302,800 yuan ($39,940) while three 1.8-liter models are priced between 171,600 yuan and 201,600 yuan ($22,630-$26,590), Nanjing MG Automotive said late Thursday. In comparison, the 2.5-liter-engine Roewe 750, developed by its bigger domestic rival SAIC Motor Corp, based on technology it acquired from the British firm, has a price tag between 231,800 and 276,800 yuan. Global launch of the models, mostly in Europe and British Commonwealth countries, which have many die- hard MG Rover fans, is scheduled before the end of the year, he added. The parent groups of the two firms, Nanjing MG Automotive and SAIC Motor, are discussing a tie-up that would fold Nanjing Auto's assets into SAIC's parent. The move, if it goes ahead as planned, would create a Chinese national auto company that could better compete with global rivals in the domestic market and eventually on a global basis, analysts said.

Report Number One by David Johnston Southern California The destination for this event was northern California, fifty miles north of San Francisco; home base was the "Double Tree Hotel" in Rohnert Park on Hwy 101. Rohnert Park is in the heart of premier Wine Country, there is a fantastic blend of scenery, climate, quiet winding roads, hills and mountainsides, coastline and coastal mountains, redwood forests and historic sites. David and Marie Johnston in their TD represented the Classic MG Club (Los Angeles) at this event. We met our friends from the San Diego MG Club, Skyler and Ruth Hofman in their TD, and Ruth's brother Jim plus his wife Sugene in Skyler's MGB. Rohnert Park is about 600 miles from San Diego via the coastal route thru Malibu, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and San Francisco. 160 cars were registered, one couple came from Germany and some drove their cars from the east coast, Canada and of course San Diego. As this was a joint event by the North American MGB Register (NAMGBR) and the MG Owners Club (Bay Area), almost all the cars were MGB's, MGB GT's with some MGA's. There were 2 MG ZB Magnettes, a sprinkling of T series and one lonely Triumph. Registration was on Monday, Tuesday was car show day and a great rustic Italian Country dinner in the village of Occidental. Wednesday was the big day with a tour of 220 miles to Bodega Bay and Mendocino. On Thursday there was a tour of the wineries with an awards dinner and a silent auction in the hotel that evening. The event wrapped up on Friday and then home. No event encompassing over 1,300 miles in 55 year old cars is without problems, my problem was a wobbly water pump on the way to Mendocino, this was eventually fixed at some expense at a British Car repair shop in Rohnert Park. Skyler had a flat and had to have a new tyre. A number of other people had electrical and mechanical problems, however, everyone had a good time and all were able to leave for home on Friday. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Report Number Two by Don Scott Calistoga, CA I just got back from visiting the NAMGBR car event in Rohnert Park CA. What a pleasant surprise - I didn't know there were that many enthusiasts left. And the distances some of the people drove- from Oklahoma, Washington, and Indiana and other parts of the nation. I met MG legend Norman Nock, who has been selling and repairing British cars for decades. I met a fellow from Seattle who bought his '66 B new, and is still in love with it, having restored it to its prime. I commented that it's too bad we can't do that with our wives! The owner of that car bought it new, picked it up in London, and drove it all over Europe.
