MG TD TF 1500 - MG Eye Candy

I am am moderator on a group dealing with South Bend lathes.
the other day I posted a response on something to do with knurling. I mentioned that the par I was showing was for an MG-TD.

One of the Long time members, from Auckland, New Zealand replied with this Story.

"Last year my wife and I did 3 months away - Europe - UK - USA, and in Bristol I went to have a look at the SS Great Britain while Jan was at a netball meeting.

On arrival, I found the dry dock car park full of cars from the MG Car Club, whose members were out on a holiday run in the beautiful weather. Being a bit of a car aficionado, I naturally took some pictures."

I thought our members might enjoy them.
Rather than create a Montage which does little for them I am posting them one at time.

First one.

Thanks Jim. I think VAs/SAs are some of the best looking MG models. Kimber also liked the VA.

There is a huge collection of early MGs in NZ, including VA, SA and WA, all owned by one guy. And they get taken out all at once on tours around the country. A true enthusiast!

No Y Tourers in those photos, but some lovely SA's and VA's.

Yes I am mistaken about the YT.
My E-Friend actually sent me two batches, the second was rejected by my Host, miss.com, because the first filled up my mailbox. I cleaned it out, and upgraded to 250 Mb os storage.
Tony resent me the second group.
I don't want to wear out my welcome since they are not T's but I can post the rest.
I am adding just one which is striking.

Without a doubt, many of the SVW series produced some glorious MG coachwork. For a full listing of all pre-war MG models, go to https://www.mg-cars.org.uk/Lew/index.html

However MG was prone to selling just some bare chassis that frequently produced some lovely models, and so a few ugly ones, too. Some of the specialty coachworks like Tickford, Graber, Charlesworth, Kelner, Ghia, Park Ward, and even Pinin Farina have produced the attached images ...

Did you mean Corsica body on a K type Gord?

I can't imagine that anyone who owns a T-Series wouldn't appreciate photos of pre-war cars. And if they do then they can simply avoid this thread. Post away!
