When I was in high school in the 70s I'd see a T-series from Monterey with the license plate BOSS MG.  The Ford v8 in it was not a flathead.

Dear MG friends,

 

Although I have sold my MG BGT 3 years ago, I still have not lost interest
in the Marque of Friendship.

So here?s a little story to cheer you up:

Last weekend I went to the village where I was born.

I was invited to meet a man in a museum of the local historical society.

We had a nice conversation and later on another man entered the museum.

He introduced himself and I said I could remember his father driving an MG
TD.

 

Now comes the fun part: the MG was given to him as a natural payment, as the
lady was impossible to pay her debt to his father.

The TD was in a poor state at that moment, but after it was handed over it
was restored in a very nice condition in a bright red color.

Well th?t is a great kind of payment!

This goes back to the early sixties


 

Hope you like the story. 

 

Cheers,

Hans Duinhoven

Netherlands

Not just any flathead but the smaller 136 cidflathead. Apparently popular in Midget racing in the 50's.
