Silverstone Classic 2017

28 July, 2017

As those lucky buggers in the UK get rid of the last of their hangover from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a few of them will be heading off to another brilliant event being held in their backyard.


The 2017 Silverstone Classic sees some excellent classic racing as well as on-site classic auctions, teams events and the ever popular retro run meaning there’s a bit of something for everyone.


Taking place at the Silverstone Circuit this weekend, there might be just enough time to jump aboard NZ2 and get there for Saturday’s festivities.

Check out a preview of this year’s event here:

Project Adder – an MGB with bite

21 November, 2025

Bill and Rae Denize have been active MG Car Club members in Wellington for nearly 32 years. They have held a variety of positions on the club committee, and now that they are both retired, they can be even more involved in the club’s activities. Bill is currently the president of the MG Car Club, Wellington Centre.
The list of cars they’ve owned over the years is testament to their passion for the brand. It includes a 1972 Midget — the round rear-wheel arch model with 1275cc motor; a three-door 2004 MG ZR; a 2005 MG ZR (five-door); and Rae’s 2005 MG TF, which they still own. Bill also raced a 1967 Morris Mini Cooper S at Manfeild for many years. That car featured in an article in the January 2013 issue of this magazine.
In April 2013, Bill sold the Cooper S and decided to buy a low mileage, freshly imported MG RV8 from Japan. He liked the idea as there were only 1983 built in the early 1990s, which, hopefully, would translate into these cars holding their value. More importantly, their bodies were galvanised, which meant fewer rust problems, although Bill and Rae didn’t escape encounters with oxidation unscathed.
