MG TD TF 1500 - Mike Goodman's shop on TV

Sunday night watching Columbo, Etude in black, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068398/ on the television, A red TC at Mike Goodman's shop, Mike's business sign on the wall. 1972

I loved Columbo.

This is his old shop before he moved to the big one that he was most known for. What's funny is that the mechanic's name in the show is Mike, probably so they didn't have to change the sign!

The green TC is probably Mike Goodman's. If not his then undoubtedly one of the other TC Motoring Guild cars. Mike sold the TC many years ago but it's still housed only a few miles from his old shop.

BTW the car part starts at 8 minutes into the link that Steve provided to save that part of your life. The T series does not show up until 11 min in.

And of course you will have to copy paste or:

I owned a Peugeot 403 convertible like his, only white! Sold it for about $ 1,000. 45 years ago. Duh!

By the way, if you have a Netflix streaming account, you can watch the entire episode. There are three scenes in Mike's shop, totaling about 12 minutes of the 60-minute episode. Some very nice cars in there, which isn't at all fiction.

Steve, Any idea what recording studio that was near Mikes shop? Was it "Sunset Recorders"? You can see the front door in the footage.

I don't know what it was, but it said "Soul Sound" on the window and "Recording Studio" above the door. It's possible Mike remembers. I'll try to remember to ask him.
