MG MGA - daft question really

Hi all a bit of a daft question but having been caught watching the Rockford Files recently I began wondering of any of the cars used by him in the series were ever preserved

A good queston for Steve Simmons who works in that industry. I live near Holly-Weird but have not seen it at any of the local museums.

Don't know if the car is still around but I remeber reading an interview with James Garner where he said that the car had been modified to the point that he would outrun the helicopter used for filming for a joke.

Hi guys I knew there would be some "closet" Rockford fans out there, along the same lines I wonder how many famous people had or have A's , apart from Elvis of course

James Garner did all his own stunts for The Rockford Files. I always thought his show was one of the best.

Google says that this museum has one of the Firebirds from the show. http://www.celebritycasinos.com/Celebrity_NelsonGarage.html

Also, here is a site with pictures of cars used in movies and TV series.
