University Motors to Close

I was stunned to read in the latest edition of the MGB Driver that University Motors of Ada, Michigan is closing their doors. I had the pleasure of visiting this shop in 1999 during a trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan.

John and Caroline Twist operated this business for over 30 years and were founding members of the North American MGB Register. John said that these economic times, as well as serious health issues that Caroline is facing forced him to make this difficult decision.

John was very generous with his time and expertise and was always available to answer technical questions about MGs in general and MGBs in particular. His YouTube videos are a fine source of information and entertaining, to boot.

John is planning a big auction of MG memorabilia and shop equipment in August. He has a pristine MG Austin-Healey dealer sign that I'd love to own.

Thanks for everything, John!
