You know your cars. When I bought the MG, what I really wanted was a model known as: "MG WA." But so few were made, and their production was halted when all of our factories were commandeered for the war effort in 1939. Production of the WA didn't resume after WW2, so from just a few hundred built only a small number remain. And even if you could find one, they command a king's ransom. Here's a WA that I saw at one of the best vintage events in the UK: The Goodwood Revival.
Wow that is super clean! For some reason it reminds me of a scaled down version of a Rolls. Wonder if who designed that car also did some work for Rolls Royce?You know your cars.

A man name of Cecil Kimber was the head honcho of MG before the war. He wanted to give William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar, a run for his money. You can read about The WA here.

Had to share this with you, a local tradesman, a carpenter, uses this hearse as a van. It looks so funny when he has his ladders tied to the flower rack on the roof. It's looking really rather sad now, all tatty and forlorn. Our very own ghost busters.

I like the hearse. My first car was nearly a 1959 Cadillac hearse. It was $500 in 1976, but I was a bit worried about getting dates with it (or the "wrong" dates).

Period dog dish wheel covers found in a junkyard for beer money.

2jakes, was it you who said they would be scared witless at driving on the left? Over in The What Hat Thread, there's a rather nice American that's made a new home on the 'wrong' side of the road.Spring time is “Texaco" time & cruising the hill-country backroads.

I don’t remember if it was in The What Hat Thread.
Basically I was trying to convey that for me to drive a car with the steering
wheel on the right side & driving on the left lane which I have never done
in my life would be scary in the sense that I may cause an accident & harm
other folks.
But then again, it’s scary with the way some folks drive regardless of the
country or what side of the road they are on!

I looked at this today. I did not buy it, but it was a really nice truck. 1983 C20 with 454, 700r4 auto transmission and 86,000 original miles. $2,700.00 was not the wrong price, but then again, that also buys a lot of stuff for our soon to be bigger house.
