SVW Review Compendium by E.A.Gailitis updated 11th August 2023
I own a 1937 MG VA Tickford, engine #1254, wet clutch, body 0864S, orig reg DLJ 917. I developed this document as there is a lot of valuable information in the SVW Reviews however I needed the memory of a saint to remember all the articles, so I issue this document in “Topic” order and “Review” order, so articles are easier to find. I also added the location on Facebook of some key information too but as FB is searchable, this is only more of a reminder that the SVW Facebook site is awesome.
Note that later articles on the same topic will provide more up to date information and I recommend all articles on a particular topic are read. The focus here is mainly MG VAs, especially WET CLUTCH, and have included other interesting articles of reference eg SA Wet Gearbox change and also articles for NZ SVW members as that is where I reside. By that definition it is subset of articles but has all the VA technical articles.
It is possible someone in the Register may pick it up and expand on it and add SA and WA references as it is very handy to use the SEARCH facilities in pdf or Word format files. I use that all the time eg searching for Torque figures etc. I am open to improvements;
I will keep it up to date annually or when others suggest to me that I have missed a great article etc. I have also a folder of other publications, much like the one Jim Andrews did in Review 21, Pg 18 and it covers many other sources (Safety Fast, The Automobile, Practical Classis etc.).
Contact me on [email protected] and I will share my VA Information Repository with you on my Google Drive if you are a member of the UK MGCC/SVW Register as I have copied their material in this document.
