In the past week, I've had a few MG-ish sightings.
First, on Hennepin, there is a technical school. They
appear to teach auto repair.
Out front is what looks to be a TD. I stopped and looked
at it from 30 feet. It's brown and tan, has a proper MG
badge on the radiator shell. It's big problem is that it's
got "wire wheel" covers.
I'm not very well up on my Tx lore, but I seem to remember
that the TD could be had with steel wheels, so it could well
be real. It has a big 'Not for Sale' sign on it. :-)
The other car, is not an MG. It's a replica. Looks pretty nice.
It's a TF replica, I think I remember. Burgundy. The radiator shell
badge is kind of a stylized J. And it has a leaping jaguar on top,
pretty obviously added on.
The exhaust came out on the passenger (right) side of the rear of the
car. Any idea what this one could be? With the exhaust 'wrong' I'm going
with it's not a Victor. But it also wasn't a VW engine in back.
