@Chuck242_- Great story about the history of the MG T series. I was a Triumph man myself, having a TR-3A from 1959 as my first car...Loved it! The A had the "wide mouth" grill as opposed to the slender TR-3 grill and in typical English fashion, came with a hand crank (there was a factory manufactured passage (i.e. hole) through the grill and radiator for the shaft) in case..."the dynamo failed" . Had friends with TC's although that was getting sort of old by 1962. Your story could have continued with the emergence of the MGA (then B) a beautiful streamlined (by comparison) sports car, much more modern looking. And let's not forget the MG "Midget" , AH "Sprite" and Triumph small sports cars that allowed those with smaller budgets to jump on the sports car wagon. Great story and a great scene on your layout.

Best Wishes

Don
