This 'creamy dreamy' MG from 1954 was ultra clean and certainly impressive, but I have to say I'd much rather have any one of the umpteen cool cars that America were producing around the same time. Maybe they're just too classy for me!

The TC Midget was the first postwar MG and it was launched in 1945. Around 10,000 TCs were produced, from September 1945 to November 1949, more than any previous MG model. Back in 1946, on the home market, one of these little beauties would have set you back £527 ... I hate to think what you'd have to pay for one today! Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_T-type

An Apal Porsche 356 Speedster replica and a MG Midget were amongst the cars soaking up the Spring sunshine!

The Magnette ZA, seen in the background, cost £915 when launched in 1952 and unleashed an outcry among M.G. enthusiasts. The re-use of the glorious Magnette name on a family saloon with Wolseley bodywork, an Austin engine and a dummy radiator was not the sort of thing they had come to expect from M.G. Nonetheless, the M.G. is no Wolseley copy. In order to emphasise the sporty character of the M.G. in contrast to the sedate but luxurious Wolseley the bodwork was made two inches lower, which not only looks more sporty but assures better handling. The TC Midget on the other hand, seen in the foreground was the first postwar MG and launched in 1945. It was exported to the United States, even though only ever built in right-hand drive. The export version had slightly smaller US specification sealed-beam headlights and larger twin rear lights, as well as turn signals and chrome-plated front and rear bumpers. It only cost £527 on the home market in 1947 ... try getting one for that today!

Found these three beauties parked up next to each other away from the main show area and thought it would make for a lovely shot. The two MGs seem to still be around, but I couldn't find the Jaguar on the DVLA site at all.
