old MG footage

I just had this converted from old super8 film (1952)to a CD and put it on youtube. I thought some of you may enjoy it!

Thats cool. I've been doing a lot of searching lately on MG on youtube. Great stuff out there. There's a Marlboro ad that is priceless.

Did you know there was a parrot under the hood in "Long Ride Home" !

That's neat stuff.

Here's a more modern version of the gymkhana with a Caterham 7.

You can see how much better the TC handles over the TD & the TF. Priceless videos.

Yep, they have come a long way since '52, and the driver of the Locost is top-notch. You can see that he "wears" his car! No aspersion on the old Moggie, more the driver, but that poor guy couldn't get it right either in the gymkhana or on the road!! The TC just has the right look for those cars, modernizing it lost something I think! Maybe the difference in tire size has a lot to do with the looks and the handling.
