MG TD TF 1500 - Hershey 2017

Right now I am on vacation in the US (from The Netherlands), and going to visit the car show in Hershey.

Off course I expect a lot of American made cars and parts. But I wonder if there is any MG stuff.

Tips?

John,
Hershey is HUGE! You could walk for Days...really! A good idea is to get one of the Event Programs that list Venders and has a Map of the area. That way you can get oriented and visit the Venders that may have what you are searching for. Often times you can find things hidden in obscure areas...where the Item's value is unknown to the Seller. Like a T-Series fluted Sump filled with old Chevrolet Parts. But it takes Time.
It's going to be unusually warm the next several days, and Sunny. So...just dress appropriately, wear your walking shoes...and Enjoy!

There is lbc and MG stuff, just real spread out and hard to find. Most vendors will fly the Union Jack, so look for it. Stop by the NEMGTR and talk to the people there. Maybe they can direct you. I hope to be there looking as usual, for the past 35 years or so. Have a good trip and enjoy your visit.

Make sure you find and go to the AACA museum while in Hershey. Brilliant display of autos, not sure what featured special display is at the moment. George

Thanks for the invitation Len! But unfortunately Ihave to let it pass...

My adventure in the US on the way to Hershey started 2,5 weeks ago from JFK airport using airport transfers tunbridge wells to Brooklyn where I had a B&B.
Me and my wife spent 7 days exploring Manhattan and around...

John. When I go to the Iola car show in Wisconsin (Literally 300 acres of parts), I take a walking stick with a sign on it saying. "looking for MG parts". If the sellers know they have MG parts, they will call me over. Still should look as some folks don't know what they have.

I had a wonderful time in Hershey.

As expected I didn't found much parts but that was not the main reason for my visit, and my flight to Europe is limiting size and weight of parts anyway.

I met some nice MG enthausiasts, found some MG-models which are not common in Europe and enjoyed the nice atmosphere.

On the car show on Saterday there was a very nice and original TA Tickford.

The only (small) disappointment was that there was no regalia available in the NEMGTR tent, so no car badge as keepsake.

John,
I'm sorry I didn't see your post before. I had a vendor spot at post #86 in the Green Field. I had mostly MG books. I met a lot of great British Car Fans. If you ever get over again look me up. I'm glad you had a good time and the weather was good except for Thursday night rain shower.
