MG TD TF 1500 - TV TD

Was watching the old 1950's show "The Millionaire". The Barbara Lyndon Story" Takes place in Switzerland where the main charater is driving a Healey and brakes down. Along comes a later MG TD. Interesting two tone paint job. Look around 5:40 of the video.

So let's get this straight. There is snow on the ground. She is wearing a winter coat. They're both driving around with the tops down! Yea, right!

For a tall guy, he gets out of the MG pretty gracefully compared to short, fat me! I guess I need lessons in spite of 52+ years of ownership.

Gents,
Nothing unusual about the top down in winter. Lived near Buffalo NY in my youth and now wife and I thought it perfectly normal to drive top down so long as not filling car with snow. 1950s people dressed for winter in Buffalo so no discomfort and lots of fun at 1:00 AM waking neighbors and getting tickets for loud pipes. Now only a fond memory which I can not resist relating here. Never again... how sad!

Regards,

P.S. TD, second gear, open fenders, low power, 2000#, narrow tires, few cars were so good in snow.

How soon you forget Ed, Look at Calvins Spitfire. Just like the candy bar...somedays you feel like a nut...some days ya don't :-)

Jim Merz - he may look graceful getting out of the TD, but the way he pushes off of the front of the door those hinges will have been sagging in short order!
