MG MGA - MGA on Endeavour

A light blue MGA with a sports windscreen made a very brief appearance on the latest Endeavour 1 hour 44 mins (including adverts) in tonight's episode.

...... and it was quick too! Good job it wasn't raining - no hood available with that screen and the totty wasn't exactly dressed for bad weather.

Gramme. Same screen as I use. No sidescreens either. Hood is in my attic to save weight. That clip could have been no longer than 3 secs.

I didn't see Endeavour, the wife prefers Midsummer Murders.

However, the Channel No 5 perfume Ad was on tv all over Christmas and after the female model gets out of the sea, she changes and drives into New York ? in an Old English White MGA...

My street cred in the house rose above zero briefly...

I love your shows, Endeavour, Midsummer Murders, and others. We can only get them sometimes on Public Television, but not on a regular basis. I envy you. Your programs that I see are so much better that our wasteland of advertisements. Larry

I love Endeavour - cant wait to see it. I saw an MGA in the Marple Series on Netflix - several scenes with the A and a pretty woman. Have also seen an MGA in Midsummer Murders - there was a murder at a benefit car show and the A was one of the cars on display - It was even mentioned by name by one of the detectives.

The episode was set in 1968 or shortly after the Donald Campbell fatal crash on Coniston Water in 1967. I was just wondering (originality theme etc) whether the after market sports screen shown in the clip was available at the time?

The insurance company Geico has been playing a commercial using a gecho for quite a few years now. The car in the commercial has an MGA rear end, with a bugeye sprite front end.
In the last week or so, I noticed they now have the gecho behind the wheel of a 1600 MGA showing a bit of the front fender,windshield and dash.

Did any of you notice on the opening view of the first Endeavour that there was a blue coupe with sun roof parking in the middle of Broad Street ?

Well that was my car !

I have a picture to remind you.

PJ,
I noticed the red one (as I have one). Fascinating collection of classics. Where else would you see 3 Morris Minor convertibles in one shot, other than at a show?

Hi P J Whittington

Nice coupe and sunroof.

If you are planning on visiting any local shows this year, do let me know.

We could possible stage the largest MGA coupe (with sunroof) meeting in the world !

Hi M

Thanks. The view is somewhat distorted since they moved the cars by some CGI transformation. The cars are not even 'parked' properly. We had a lot of waiting around but worth the prestige.

The MGCC MGA register gathers yearly in August.
My 2016 plans have not been 'firmed' up yet.

Drop me a email.

Regards
