Hello, new to the Forum, so no doubt the first of many 'newbie' type questions/posts. I am in the final throes of reassembling my deceased Father in Laws PB. We brought it over from the US (where it had been for the last 40+ years) about 2 1/2 years ago. I took it to pieces to enable some much needed bodywork restoration and a respray to be done - but, am only now getting it back together. Struggling with some wiring/electrical issues, and some missing interior trim etc. Hopefully, will have the bonnet and doors back on in time for the end of Summer...
I should at this point confess that I am more an accidental PB owner than a life long devotee - and thus will look/sound like a complete hayseed.
The car came across the pond with a lot of spares. As yet I have not had a chance to unwrap or identify/classify them. I will do this in due course, with a view to uncluttering and moving them on (I do believe these parts should be working for a living on a functioning car, and not hoarded away). I am in South Oxfordshire (ironically close to Abingdon) and, should any MMM owning individual be passing close by I am quite happy to let you have a rummage to see if there is anything that may be of use - as long as you don't mind being mined for information! If interested then send me an email.
Cheers
Sam |

Hi Sam,
Welcome to the world of MMM. As a recent joiner myself I feel confident that you will be welcomed warmly by all here. Lots of P types around and even more experience and knowledge.
Any chance of pic of the car?
Best regards,
Nick.

| Yep, I'll upload some pics shortly of the car when it was complete, and where it is now. |

Hello Stephen, and we wish you a very warm welcome to the Forum and to the world of Triple-M ownership.
If memory serves, we met at Silverstone earlier this year and the car is PB0683? There are already several pictures of the car on the website and I took others when I inspected thew car quite a while ago.
The Triple-M Register is here to help you. We are a section of the MG Car Club and I would encourage you to join the Club. Details are at http://www.mgcc.co.uk/joinrenew/join-now/
There are several other Triple-M owners in your neck of the woods and the Abingdon Works Centre of the MGCC is especially active with meets and events - see http://www.mgabingdon.co.uk/
And above all, please use this Forum to seek information - there are no 'silly questions' and hopefully the answers won't be silly either

Dick,
'Yes' that's me - guilty as charged. Will aim to upload some less tragic pics shortly.
Regards

Welcome to the world of Triple M and to the website. You will find an enormous wealth of information in the archives and I believe there is someone out there who knows the answer to almost any question you may have that has not already been covered in the past.
I have sent you a copy of my electrical booklet which may help you in that area.
