[Mgs] The day an MGA was admitted into the Concours Italiano

[WSpohn4 at aol.com]

I took my MGA Jamaican to the local Italian car day and parked it. It has  no 
emblems on it at all except for the MG on the radio blanking plate and the  
engraved MG on the knock off spinners.  The colour is right for early  Ferrari 
and the styling fits right in.
 
It fooled quite a few people. It even fooled one guy AFTER I opened the  
bonnet and exposed the GM 3.4 V6. He wanted to know when MG (it has that  engraved 
on the upper plenum) used  a V6 Ferrari engine....

Anybody  remember a story that was in Road and Track (I believe that's where  
 
I read it) about the owners of an MGA that they put a piece of high  density 
foam  on the front of his car and shaped it to appear  somewhat like an  
early 
Ferrari Barchetta.. Then drove it up to  Pebble Beach and somehow  convinced 
the 
Credentials Dept to allow him  to take part in the Concours  Italiano!
