I have a soft spot for MG's as my dad has been an MG owner and enthusiast since his early 20's.
So I was super excited to come across these great MG Posters and Ad's from the 1970's.
Think I'll add an MG to the vehicles component of my covet list - only after I've purchased my
VW Kombi and 70's Caravan of course!

MGs are so cute. When I was in my 20s, I was a Karmann Ghia girl. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dana! Karmann Ghia?! Very cool.x
DeleteOh, and what colour was yours?
DeleteAn MG (any colour)has been my dream car since I was 18,hubby's is a Kombie pop-top. I'll be wearing a bra though and no bell bottoms.
ReplyDeleteLOL - she has real Debbie Harry vibe going on in that last shot doesn't she?
DeleteI saw an Orange Pop Top Kombi for sale the other day and I was very tempted!
One day.x
My husband's dad had a MG too and my best friend from high school had an MG as her first car! A red one. She had an early birthday and used to drive to school sometimes. So cool. We used to see how many of us we could squeeze in - I can't remember our record.
ReplyDeleteOn Kombi's, our neighbours have an awesome canary yellow one, it has a sticker on the back window which reads: "Adventure before Dementia" Love it.
I love the sticker! Adventure before Dementia. So cool.
DeleteAn MG as your friends first car! How lucky was she?!! (Geez - my first car was a dodgy Datsun Sunny!) That would've been so great rolling up to school in a red MG.xx
I want a mini! ...but I'll take an MG or a combi :)
ReplyDeleteYep - I'm with you Pippa. One of either 3 would suit me fine. : ) x
DeleteI have a soft spot for MGs too! My dad also had one so I guess that's where it comes from! I test drove a 1969 model a couple of years back that I was keen to buy - my Dad was trying to talk me out of it saying they are too hard to drive and definitely too hard to maintain,blah blah sensible dad blah blah-ness... And darn it he was bloody right. I could barely get it into 2nd. So the MG will remain forever in my dreams... these posters are gorgeous! anna x
ReplyDeleteHi Anna! LOL - "sensible dad blah blah-ness..." - Gold.xx
DeleteOnly very cool people had MGs. I had a 66 Ford Falcon. Hey, with any luck I am going to join the cook off. I have to stay organized.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca! Glad you'll be joining the cook off. Thanks for reminding me to do my Reminder post. : )
