MG TC Register of Victoria, Australia
What TC's are all about The famous Barrie Papps 1956 Special Buttercup has reappeared on the circuits making its debut at Mt Tarrengower on Oct 25th with its new owner Chris Capes-Baldwin The TC Register
Quite a few new photos and I've now taken the liberty of including owners first names and their locality in order that their friends can identify them but hopefully not the general masses. I've also included a few comments. Needless to say I would welcome feedback on any thing that arises, but particularly info on new owners and PHOTOS if you have them. Pictures are far more entertaining than dry old figures. The TC Register has now been operational for over 12 years and the number of known cars in Victoria and the Southern Riverina on the Register has grown from about 150 then to the present figure of about 400. "About 400" because unless we have a near current picture or knowledge of the car we can never be absolutely sure that the car currently exists. However, we can be quite certain of at least 300 cars which is amazing given that this year (2009) the youngest TC's will celebrate their 60th birthdays.
Meanwhile the internet has changed hugely over the past 12 years and there is no longer the necessity to keep picture files as small as when we started when download speeds were very slow. So I intend to gradually improve the quality of pictures so that as many of the pictures as possible have a minimum width of 1024 pixels. This size looks very nice on a normal monitor.
Although we have pictures of many many cars, there are still a lot of gaps and I welcome pics at any time either via email or by post. An entry without a picture is just a number, but a picture is always interesting even though the car may be a pile of bits! So if your car is not illustrated (or not even there) please email me (address at the foot of the page), with pictures preferably 1024 minimum size but the larger the better and I will incorporate them into the pages.
The TC 60th Anniversary Bash - Photos!
For those still interested in an event that took place almost 4 years ago, the following are pdf's of photos of all the 109 odd cars that were present at the Bash for your interest and entertainment. To keep the file size down (to about 400kb) I have split them into pages. Click on the links to download. The pages are in Registration number order with numberless cars on page 1. You'll need Acrobat Reader installed of course. You might find that your firewalls put up an objection to active content but I can assure you the pdf's are bug free, so enjoy!
I reiterate our policy that owners details will not be revealed on the web, only owner's first names and initials of surnames. Owners should also be aware that membership of the MGCC (or any other club for that matter) is not necessary for your car to be on the Register, the only criteria being ownership of a TC in Victoria or the Southern Riverina (and now Tasmania).
For newcomers, navigation is simply a matter of browsing the lists which are in chassis number order, and clicking on a thumbnail will bring up a much bigger picture.
And there a number of other pages that you might like to browse through via the navigation bar.
Enjoy!
And if you have a TC, wherever you are in the world send an e-mail to me Richard Millington at the address at the bottom of the page and tell me about your car
