I received the following message today on an email list. I've already bought one myself.
For those who don't know of Phil Frank, he was a well known cartoonist among other talents. An avid British car enthusiast, he may be best known in the automotive world for his "Nigel Shiftright" cartoons. Road and Track recently did a road test of Nigel's MG TC which they entitled "Four Angry Cylinders". It is a must read for any car enthusiast, especially if you like making fun of MGs!

The message, and the point of this post follows....
-----------------------
Phil Frank, the creator of "Nigel Shiftright" passed away in September of this year. At that time, several people expressed a desire to memorialize
him with some activity or action.
A few days after Phil died, I sculpted a keepsake ornament to be sold with the profits sent to Phil's favorite charity, the Yosemite Association.
With the help of Terry Sanders, Susan Frank, Phil's wife and the consent of his family this project has been launched and is now ready to market. The Yosemite Association has been contacted and we are ready to make the first casting run of 500 pieces.
I have listed all the details on eBay (item No. 170164054352) to purchase this ornament for your MG collectibles and support the educational, research and funding activities of Phil's favorite charity.
We all will miss Phil and his whimsical view of life and motoring.
