We took the dog out for a walk last night and when we were walking through the village we were passed by a pretty little blue MG two seater, reg began with 'TF'.
My son asked if I would rather have one of them in the garage or a Hillman Aero Minx we had seen whilst perusing ebay, of course I told him it would have to be the Hillman!!

I wonder if what you saw was an MG TF (1953 - 1955)? My neighbour has one of these but it hardly ever sees the light of day. You will know the TF was replaced by the MGA and is an interesting transitional design. |

The purists didn't like the TF but I thought it looked good, certainly a lot better than the TD.

It was pre TF, I have a feeling it was either a TA or TC.
It was very nice and looked a very 'fresh' rebuild.

Just went out shopping and passed a very nice silver Y reg Ford Fiesta on my way home.

Just been out for walkies and was passed by a gorgeous looking 1965 Zodiac MkIII.
My 8th and 9th cars were both Zodiacs |

They always have been a great looking car. One of my neighbours has two of them; one a manual, the other an automatic.
He has just finished restoring the manual at a very high cost. I will post a photo when I next see it. |

Coming back through the village tonight I passed a lovely Fawn coloured Ford Anglia E494A, never seen it before but presume it is local. Maybe a freshly finished project?
