You were kind enough to contact me in the past re: my website MG World
(www.GoThere.com/mg-world)* and the story of acquiring my car still resides
there (My BC TC). You are welcome to use it or any part of it on your
website. I am almost finished now on a ground up of my TC and should be able
to provide a "newer" story in the near future.
Congratulations on creating the most beautiful car badge I've ever seen. I
certainly hope you have those available for sale. Please tell me how I can
get one.
(Note from Jim - I agree about the car badge Doug - It was designed by our
member Austin Baer - and yes we still have badges available - just send $35
(US currency, check or money order - sorry no credit cards) to Jim Shade,
2110 E. Mesita Ave., West Covina CA 91791)
*(Another note from Jim - I checked out Doug's webpage MG World
(www.GoThere.com/mg-world) and I have a question - Who are cathy
(http://www.gothere.com/mg-world/Cathy.jpg) and Debbie
(http://www.gothere.com/mg-world/Debbie.jpg) ????

Be nice to your kids - they'll choose your nursing home.

out the engine and trans, as they were not in when the fire occurred. I also
own a 1934 PA which is being restored (for the last 20 years) and a 1937 SA

There was a TA for sale from New Jersey on the Hemmings web site last month.
It had a TC engine and trans as well. I have lost the name and phone number
of the owner, and wondered if you or someone else on the T-ABC e-mail list
might know of this car/owner. Regardless if I find it, I would still like to

Re: Update from Jim
Jim Extra news on MG Rover. According to today's Financial Times, MG Rover is to buy the USA-Italian motor company Qvale. The FT says that the founding Qvale family was heavily involved in importing and selling British sports cars in the USA from the 1940s, giving a nice historic touch to today's announcement. Apparently the primary interest is in the Qvale distribution network. Mike Card TC8233 Surrey, UK

1945? TC unk chassis and engine numbers

I'm trying to research the history of the car, hence joining a site like the

that makes me think it may have been gray green is that inside of battery

when we got it was 1971...it had been in dry storage and did not and does not

Moot point, my TC does not go that fast. But consider what happens when you turn OFF the lights also!
