I understand that some people will be at mgFim in Rovers this year - do they class as Hard Tops?

Some VR’s owners came from the South of France (Marseille and Montpelier) and the weather during the MG Live weekend was not sunny and warm in Silverstone, especially for them !

The aim was to show our TF’s in the three different configurations. If the weather had been really good some HT could be removed for the presentation.

:thumbsu: They are very pretty with the hardtop continuing the stripes of the body . . . did you ever see a “copy” of VR with a Hardtop ? ;)

Even the official presentation of that SE was this :

and this:
mg france 6.jpg
And that was certainly not quite by chance :)

MG'calement,

Marina.

Truly a great sight Marina, well done to you for getting them there, my bit was easy.

I'm glad everybody enjoyed themselves and the Saturday evening by the canal was just perfect.

You have a tough job to beat that don't you ?

I Know the pictures of the VR´s i like the Stripes, i would take it on my car before i see you.
But than i must spraypaintet first the rear Car, and in this year the front of the Car, too much scratches and chips. So perhaps next Year i have my stripes that i will take it in 2010 on the Car :lol:

Take a look at this thread I did on the Vintage Racing, No.1 is accounted for.

Sorry I couldn't make it to this event.
