I never had an MG, but I did have a 1959 TR-3. Traded it in for a Pantera. :-)
What year Pantera? got pics?
BTW, my dad worked at Ford and could have gotten a Pantera really cheep way back in the day, he didn't jump on the deal... they had a trailer of them at the Ford plant and they were selling them in the parking lot to the employees. He should have snaged one.. My grandpa(his dad) was there too, but hey like he's gonna buy a sports car! :\
