Hi Ken,
thanks for the link, can't help but like the advert which is vastly improved by the choice of car.

I was in the early stages of preparing my MGA for my daughters wedding using wedding cars tunbridge wells which is scheduled for mid July because she has asked me to drive her to the venue in it.
I was in the middle of giving the upholstery its first thorough clean for quite a long time, covering any possible sharp edges (don't want her to snag her wedding dress) and figuring how to attach the ribbons.

But its looking more and more like we are going to have to postpone it until maybe next year.

At least the car is looking good!

Stay well everyone

Cheers,
Colyn

Here's a behind the scenes shot for you. The commercial was shot in November 2017 and first aired last Fall. More photos here: http://www.mgnuts.com/mga/film/

So Steve, is that your car in the ad? I must say if looks incredible!

Steve - Ah, I read all the way though your webpage on that shoot and see it was not only your car, but that Grace Elizabeth loved it so much she tried to buy it on the spot!

Congrats!

She did indeed. Many times actually. No sale. :)

Steve, I just watched the YouTube clip again and I am thinking that it may be just as well that Grace Elizabeth didn't persuade you to sell her your MGA.

I think she would have had to have lengthened the car to accommodate those impressive long legs of hers if she planned to drive it very far. :^)

Well there was the time she did a minor burnout around a rather narrow corner in high heels. That one took some coaching but she pulled it off. The raw footage is awesome. :)
