J - Car is Finished - Best of Show Award!

Been a while since my last post, been having fun actually driving the car.  On June 12 the granddaughter of the prior owner had her senior high school pictures taken in the car.  Two days before the oil/water gauge finally showed up.  I was able to take her for a short drive to a local church, where the photographer from Vincennes took the pictures.  Here's a shot of the car that day:






The car was of course entered in our local British Car Show on September 20, here's a picture of the car at the show:





I was very proud at the end of the show to get the "best of show" award for the car (picked by the other car owners, about 93 cars in total).  First time any of my cars has ever gotten this award.  Here's a picture of my granddaughter with the trophy I got:





Then in October my friend Bob Krug wanted to have me join he and his son for a drive out in the country and lunch.  Bob has a '53 MGTD.  Here's a picture of both cars in front of the Nisbet Station Inn.  Was a beautiful day, good lunch, great company, and nice picture opportunity:





I have now decided that I'd like to move on to another car, looking for a classic mini.  So I'm putting the car up for sale.  Still have not put a top or tonneau cover on it, may wait and see what the future owner wants.
