Congratulations on your ascent. Beautiful car. ! My first car, purchased in 1964, was a red MG TD MK II. Engine and gear box were newly refurbished but not installed. That was my entry into the world of British cars. I currently have a red 1963 MGB and looking at buying a 1954 MG TF that has been properly stored for 15 years. Just the right car for a hill climb. Cheers from Oregon USA.
