MG MGA - 1962 “Safety Fast” magazines.

Here’s a long shot. Try it anyway! Does anyone have copies of any 1962 “Safety Fast” magazines, probably July and August most of interest to my searches. Interested to buy, borrow, copy or whatever.
Best, and happy Christmas to you all.

Thanks Gordon. Indeed, just seen the eBay issues for sale and have managed to get the one I need - July 1962, with some photos of my Twin Cam being raced at Silverstone. Great to have found a bit of its history. Seems you can find anything you need on eBay!

Excellent.
Can we see a photo of it in action?

Ok. Let’s see if I can do this!
Picture of my KJX 157 (YD1 1188) on the grid at Silverstone 1962 from the July ‘62 edition of Safety Fast, and one of her cornering there at Woodcote from the library at MG Abingdon obtained decades ago when such things existed. All these copied from copies which the original owner, Bob McElroy, kindly sent me recently. Bob was/is a bit of an ace with the Twin Cam engine and rebuilt many including mine, then for the previous owner in the mid 1990’s. Still running well!
I hope I have quoted the history correctly - it’s just great to have found a bit of history on the old car at last!
Bruce.
