THERE IS ONE QUESTION that I get asked more than any other about editing MG Enthusiast: ‘Don’t you ever run out of cars to feature?’ The short answer is no, and rather than struggling to find enough feature cars to fill the pages, I have a much harder time trying to squeeze all the stories into an issue. Just look at the variety on this contents spread alone, not just of models but also of subject matter and feature styles, and you will get an idea of my problem. The fact is that a car cannot exist for 20, 30, 40 or more years and not gather stories along the way. It is the same with their owners, whether the main thrust of a story lies in their background leading up to purchase of the featured MG or in a long association between car and driver. And no matter how well you know your MG history, there are always new avenues and blind alleys to discover and explore, such as the Riley Riviera in this month’s Your MGs pages. Firstly, I must acknowledge that this is a Riley and not an MG, but since it is a sister car to the MkIII MG Magnette and the Riviera was powered by an MGA engine, I feel it deserves a place in the magazine – it is one of the blind alleys of history that I mentioned above, one that few people remember but which adds richness and variety to these pages. However, we are always on the lookout for more so why not send us details of you and your car? We may be able to use it in the Your MGs pages, or we may send a reporter along to help craft a bigger feature. But whatever you do, please don’t assume that you have no story to tell. After all, you enjoy reading about others, so what makes you think they wouldn’t be interested in what you have to say?
