Hi all.
Well I am GOBSMACKED!!
I attended the Wheelnuts Classic car show at St Roses school in Stroud Gloucestershire with the MGTF1500 on Sunday the 28th.
An annual show I attend every year as its for a good cause.
The MG attracted lots of admiring onlookers,with a possible couple interested in buying it.
Had plenty of kids sitting in it having their pics taken by mum and dad.
Some onlookers couldnt believe I was letting them,or anyone for that matter sit in it!
There were some really nice, TR's4,5,6's, MGB's, MGA's,MGT'types,E-types,USA muscle sports,Daimler Darts,,,in fact all sorts!!
And to end the day on a high,I was really chuffed,as it was awarded, Best sports car in show!
This pic was taken at the Bristol Classic car show last weekend,its 1st outing since finishing the resto.
