For Sale: MG TD MK II – This is a relatively rare MG-TD Mark II up for sale. There were only 1,710 Mark II’s ever produced. And, who knows how many are left? The TD features an inline 1248 cc 4-cylinder engine mated to a smooth 4 speed manual gear box. The exterior is finished in red with the paint showing some age in places. The car has no known known rust issues at all and as you can see from the featured pictures everything is solid. The updated interior is above average. Though the dash and gauges show age, the patina adds to the originality and authenticity of this awesome MG. The beige convertible top was likely replaced at some point and is in excellent almost-new condition. Though not a concours level car, this car will shine up very nicely and could be the pride of any British classic or sports car collection. Given the low build numbers of the TD MK II, this particular example could be a great investment opportunity for the smart car enthusiast.

Saturday August 7, 2010 brought the return of the Hemmings staff to Saratoga Springs, New York for the annual Hemmings Sports & Exotics Car Show. BMW cars were the featured marque and there was a wonderful showing of all types of Bimmers from 2002’s to 6-Series “sharks” and even a Hennarot M1.

The weather on this day was spectacular with light music filtering through the warm summer breezes and bright sun shining over head. The Saratoga Automobile Museum Popcorn truck was sharing it’s wonderful kettle corn and the local Lion’s club opened up a concession stand for attendees to fill up on grilled goodies. What more could one ask for than a beautiful day with sunny skies and a lineup of well cared for sports and collector cars on display?

The car turnout was comprised of well over 150 sports and collector cars ranging from early Model T’s up to modern sports cars through model year 1988. There was a strong showing of classic post-war British sports cars including Jaguars and MG’s. In this area we though the Jaguar XK 140 stole the show! (more…)

Day 2 at the New England Concours d’Elegance saw cruise-in participants show up in droves to Stratton Mountain’s upper parking areas. Classic cars including Chrysler Letter Series, Porsche 911’s, MG’s, and many rare cars were on display. Cars were parked on top of the main parking garage and food was catered by Stratton. Chairs were folded out behind the cars and owners and spectators exchanged stories and information on cars of all makes and models. Each car has a story and all owners at cruise-in events are proud to display dossiers and discuss how and where they found their cars, and how and when they were restored or preserved in great condition.
