Correct on all fronts. This is indeed THE Peter Thornley, son of THE John
Thornley, long term GM of MG. This will be a very interresting evening,
and I'm sure the floor will be open for questions. I am going to enjoy
this. Hope to see as many as you there as possible.
I happen to have in my hand a book by John Thornley, Maintaining The Breed,
a very informative and entertaining story about the saga of MG racing cars.
