While out ambling about, this morning, I spotted this total classic. A 1933 MG ML Magna. I know absolutely nothing about cars, but this one, in beautiful condition, caught my eye. I was told that the author Barbara Cartland used to race one at Brooklands, in the 1930s.

It's really gorgeous Ron. Yes she probably did race did Barbara. Love the MGs all of them.

What an eye catcher that one is

She's a beaut.

@Ronrybs Red always does on a shiny car.

@arthurchappell Nor I, anymore. I dread to think what the insurance would be like and it would be a bit chilly in the winter

This MG is beautiful, I love those old cars, all with a "personality", not like the modern cars, all the same. I loved British cars more than all the others, we had a Jaguar in the 70s and 80s.

@Ronrybs The Jaguar E type was the most beautiful Jaguar ever designed. We had the XJ6, that was a nice car. The modern ones are not pretty.

I think that up to the E type, Jaguars were very distinctive cars. Not that keen on the modern designs. There is a certain something about the 30s designs

Certainly is and to see one outside of museum is unusual, too!

Those old designs are attractive and a rather powerful colour. Modern designs seem to lack a certain something

These old cars certainly have a lot of eye appeal, don't they? I guess Barbara's would have been pink. It seems everything else was.

I hadn't thought of that, now I am wondering what colour her racing car was!

That is a beautiful car. My Dad used to be President of an antique car show and most weekends my brother and I would go to different places in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware where the shows were. I loved the American muscle cars and cars like your picture.

On a trip to LA, I went to an impromptu car meet. While not a fan of muscle cars, they are certainly impressive. It was nice to see Jaguars and MGs, a long way from home
