Came into some stuff that might be interesting.
Little British Car Co. has some MG watches for sale. I just checked the
website, and he has posted even more choices than when I got my watch. The
URL is http://www.lbcarco.com. These aren't the junky ones with just the MG
logo on them. They are quality watches at an unbelievable price. Some are
quartz, and some are automatic, that is self wind. The self wind is a bit
obsolete, but are really great. The one I have is 21 jewels (jewels are for
wear, not for accuracy), and has the day/date at the 3 o'clock position. The
12, 6, and 9 are large and easy to read. If you are a mechanical nut like
me, the back is clear plastic so you can see the weight and the movement.
The clear plastic has an MG logo in the center, covering the weight's pivot
point. The band is good quality leather with the buckle carrying another MG
inscription. The watches come in a great presentation box, also pictured on
the web site.
They are much less expensive than the Moss ones in the latest Moss Magazine.
They are also not exactly the same. Check them out.
I also got a flyer from Automobile Quarterly. They used to sell books, and
decided not to do that any more. Interesting to compare THEIR list price
with Moss's. Anyway they have the following books at the following sale
prices:
British Sports Cars in America $30.
MGB: The Illustrated History 20.
MG: The Magic of the Marque 20.
There are plenty of other books that might interest you. They also have MG
TC Holiday, Christmas Cards on sale for $7.00 per pack of 10, or 5 packs for
$30. When they are gone, they are gone. Try AQ at 1 800 523-0236.
