Nory (and all)-
The 1925 M.G. 14/28 that I have is currently in large subassemblies,
scattered throughout the Santa Clara valley. I have the body tub,
engine/gearbox, and wheels at home, the frame is at a shop in storage, and
the rest is at a friend's house. There's really nothing there worth
looking at, at least for general interest. It's purported to be the oldest
MG in the States, but I don't intend it as a museum piece. It will be many
years before it's completed!
The picture I have posted <http://www.foundations.com/fickes/OldMG.html> is
the 1926 model once owned by Lytton Jarman, who (literally) wrote the book
on bullnose Morrises and MGs. Because of it's direct lineage from the
Morris Oxford/Cowley of the time, it is often not considered a 'true' MG by
the marque purists, but it's definitely a car that reflects Cecil Kimber's
splitting off from Morris and starting his own marque, and the first to
carry the M.G. badge.
