Lothar
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!"
