Wow, that is a magnificent looking car, well done on the restoration!
Now you have something really nice to take your camera to airshows in.

Ah yes, nice.
I still sometimes pine for the MG TD that I owned for a few months back in the day until I rolled it down a forty-foot bank and totalled it.
Still carry the humungus scar down my ribcage as a memento.

Beautiful work, Peter. They are such a gorgeous car, those MGs. Have you taken your bank manager for a spin yet?  |

Yes even though a post war example you could just imagine an off duty pilot heading home scarf flapping in the breeze off down the pub.
Great job on the restoration she looks fantastic.

Thank you everyone for your very kind comments. The TC was the post-war model and is (visually) almost identical to the pre-war TA/TB cars. Only a nut case would pick the difference in a film.
My bank manager sleeps with me and, yes, she was the first pax.
The problem with going to airshows would be that I would have to leave her in the car park. You can imagine the consequences of that. And imagine my back having driven for miles on Australian roads in the cart-sprung MG.
I have a leather helmet and goggles for occasions when I put the windscreen down. I must remember the scarf.

I hope you still have another car for airshows then.
