The MG Car Club Geelong Inc. Selected Indexes of articles in indexed magazines. Many of these magazines are missing from our Library, please return if you have them. The Index is not complete but is a 'work in progress' and will be updated regularly. Only articles of on-going historical or technical interest are indexed. I have included any articles about the history of the MG Company, MG cars, or the people who were involved in either. I have not listed articles about Club Runs, Competition Events, or non-technical reports of Club Members' MGs as many of these are only relevant to Members in the UK.

  • MG Apprenticeships

    MG Apprenticeships

    March 21 2012 MG apprentices could visit China Apprentices joining MG Motor UK could have the chance of a trip of a lifetime visit to China. The trip is part of a comprehensive two year Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme being launched by MG as it invests in people for the future. Successful candidates could earn an HNC or HND qualification and possibly a job at the MG Birmingham plant. MG Birmingham is where the award-winning MG6 is designed, engineered and where final assembly of the GT fastback and Magnette sports saloon takes place. Youngsters joining the MG scheme will train in General Assembly, where the MG6 models come off the assembly lines, and in the Sales and Marketing Department. In their first year apprentices will earn £7,654 and exceptional candidates will have the chance to go to China and visit MG’s parent company, SAIC Motor, in their second year. SAIC is the eighth biggest car company in the world and sold more than 4 million cars last year. HR Manager, Louise Lane, said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for youngsters to join in what is the birth of the new MG. For the right candidates, this will be the start of a great career in the industry.” Applicants will need five GCSEs including Maths, English and a core science subject. The MG scheme will start in August and the closing date for applicants is April 8.

Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1.
