Description
NOTE: The Fine Art America watermark visible in preview windows is not on any prints you order.
Stored for more than 40 years (at a cost of $50,000+), this MG-TF awaits restoration in a Maryland garage. That radiator cap doesn't really open, by the way, but vintage cool it is. The MG-TF was built from late 1953 into 1955, and even when its powerplant was bumped from 57 horsepower to a mighty 63 ponies, it was a distant second (and about 15 miles an hour slower) in popularity to the 90-horsepower Triumph TR series. It so happens that I wrecked a TR-3 at the Hershey Hill Climb, but that's a tale for another time.

This has the look of a painting, Don. I always loved the MG and had a girlfriend who had one when we were in college. One summer back on the CZ, she told me that I could drive it. It is small; I am small; thus I thought perfect. I not only could not reach the pedals, but I also could not see out very well. Surprise and disappointment. She probably knew. Ha. This is a great creative shot.

Hi, Sharon, and thank you for your visit and note. Moral to your MG tale: Always carry a big purse (to put behind your back) and always wear stiletto heels to reach the pedals. Well, maybe not.
