[Mgs] MGs in Porto

[Richard Lindsay]

Hello Friends,

In an earlier note, I made reference to the number of fantastic MGs in
Porto, Portugal, as well as mention of a restoration shop with
zillions of parts.  The place was just astounding!  Here are some
photos to back up those claims.

First up are just some pictures of T-Series cars (etc.) in various
states of restoration / preservation starting with a beautiful
competition car at '2013 Boavista'...

And finally, a period poster from their shop proclaiming, "The new MG
Midget - A man's car."  This art appeals to my despise of political
correctness. :-P
