Champion plugs!

a time Newton , where 9/10 lads in the street knew what a feeler guage was ,days when you could look at a plug into the light and instinctively know whether it was a few thou out , most youngens now dont even know what a spark plug is or what it does , god forbid a set of points

Sorry to interrupt the nostalgia, but from someone that know what feel gauges are, as well as points, when was the last time you saw a car with points or plugs that needed gapping?

Some years ago a private tour of MG B's travelled from Beijing,China to Abingdon overland. An opportunity arose to visit the MG factory in China & have the cars serviced. The occasion became humourous when the drivers realised that noone at the factory had any idea what a grease nipple is. Also,they had never before seen an MG B. Luckily the drivers had their own grease guns so the servicing got sorted to everyone's amusement.

The tour was a success with only one car not making the distance due to a collision with a local car in Turkey. We were surprised to find an MG Car Club in Turkey.

I don't want to rain on the parade but I wonder what a Maserati owner would see in an MG GT,since it drives like a lounge room on wheels ? The MG B was an old design when new. If you wanted performance you bought a Midget.
