THE OWNER

Tom Owen bought his MGC four years ago, having owned a couple of Bs and a Midget already. ‘I wanted something a bit different, for regular use,’ he says. ‘I do 3000 to 5000 miles each year in it, including trips to Europe and around the UK. The C is an excellent touring car thanks to its torquey engine and mine has been made even better by swapping the front suspension for a ball-jointed set-up, courtesy of Doug Smith at MG Motorsport.’
