[Mg-t] [Mg-mmm] Accessory "trouble light"

[lawrie]

Don,

"Pre-war Moss catalog"? Obviously not a "Moss catalog printed before the war" so it must be a "catalog of parts sold by Moss for pre-war cars".

Even though I worked for Moss from 1980 to 1987, have been a Distriutor of their parts since then and am currently one of their Tech Service Consultants, I've never heard of this publication! 

Where did you come across it and does it have anything useful for MMM owners?

Regards,

Lawrie

PS My PA is finally on the road, albeit without a top or side curtains yet. The Centric seems loath to produce more than 2-1/2 lbs of boost (despite 1:1 pulleys and having been rebuilt by Nigel the Centric expert in England), and the performance is less than impressive. Still, I finally managed to fix the oil leaks so progress is definitely being made. About time, eh?!
