Taverne - longstanding Costello V8 enthusiast and 
V8 Register member 
 Meeting Lothar Taverne in Vienna
 Walter 
Kallenberg, a founding member of the V8 Register, recently travelled to Vienna 
in his MGBGTV8 and was able to meet Lothar Taverne a longstanding member 
of the V8 Register. Lothar has had his Costello BGTV8 since the 1970s and Walter 
reports "he still enjoys owning the Costello V8". Walter adds "meeting 
someone after 35 years is sometimes a risk, but meeting Lothar was splendid. I 
last saw him in 1983 at Silverstone!"
 
 For touring Walter says "the 
V8 is still the best MG of our cars to travel in, we did 4.000 km on this trip 
through the Austrian Alps!"
