List of all know TC's

[FDShade@aol.com]

In a message dated 11/04/2001 Rolland Meisrmer (rameismer@aol.com) asked: "-- has anyone a list of all known TCs --" Jerry Austin (jdaustinmg@cyberhotline.com) of the Vintage MG Club of Southern California (http://vintagemg.com) is accumulating such a list. Jim Shade West Covina CA

I applaud Jerry for taking on the task of listing TC's (and other models?) So how is Jerry getting the entries for the list? Pulling the info off the TABC list is a good start but will he contact other clubs? I know of quite a few TC's from the TC Motoring Guild that are not on our TABC list (and they have received notice about the list so it is not because of a lack of knowledge). I know of one other TC owner that I believe isn't in any club nor participates at the GoF. Should everyone contact Jerry now or wait for wait for specific instructions as to what info is needed (i.e. address, phone, paint/upholstery color, previous owners if known, etc) As TC's are being bought and sold, how will the list be kept current? I am Cc'ing this message to Jerry (he is not on our list) and will forward any response that I recieve to the group.

OK gang, Jerry opened up the door for us to send him information on our TC's so he can add it to the master list. You don't need to give him the info that is already listed on our TABC site about your car but if you can add to the info then pass it on to him. Be sure to look at the TABC site http://mg-tabc.org and check the info on the Membes link to be sure it is current. When Jerry made reference to me living in La Mesa, it dawned on me that I hadn't notified Jim Shade that I had moved to El Cajon recently. Be sure to give him your TC chassis number in addition to the new info so he knows which TC you are giving info on (especially if you own more than one). TC chassis # Engine # Year Body color Upholstery color Present shape (well worn in, racing, show, basket case, ??) Modifications done (supercharged, 1500 cc, Datsun steering, cycle fendered, ??) Purchase date Current owner address, city, state, zip email address Previous owners if know Current clubs that MG belongs to (includes our TABC group) Send to: Jerry Austin 4312 Pearl Court, Cypress, CA 90630-2017 Phone: (714) 995-4523 Email: busydeea@cyberhotline.com Be sure to get your club newsletters to print this so that those without web or email access can participate. If you know of any TC owners not in a club then try to get them to participate just so we have a record of known TC's. Jerry didn't say which model MG's he was collecting data on but am bet it is at least TF and earlier. Check with him if you have something newer. Jerry, I know the next question someone will ask is: "Can I get a copy of the data base?" Be prepared for that. Thanks again and I will pass my current info under seperate email, David Edgar, TC 5108 El Cajon, California
