Jane drives an MGF 1995 VVC, 1996 MPi and 1999 Mpi, along with a MG ZR 2.0 diesel.  When she plucks up the courage she also has the use of Rob's MGBGT.

Events- Ian Wright

Ian is a “Newbie” to not only MG’s but also cars, only owning for 2 ½ years as being a lifelong biker, where for 6 years was the Ride Out Co-ordinator for the Honda Owners Club. Got into MGF’s following a biker visit to Haynes, and Ian’s wife just loving the MGF in the Red Hall, not really knowing what it was! He has a Mk1 and now also a Mk2 F, and uses daily for commuting over 60 miles each day, 6 days a week. Joined the MGCC straight away, and popped over to the local natter, and a month later took up the challenge of becoming the Thames Valley region of which has grown successfully.  The MG bug has certainly bitten, as Ian’s wife now also has an F to stop the arguments on who’s driving.

Main Roles: Events/Thames Valley  Rep.
