Automotive Art?

I saw an ad recently for a wall mounted genuine Jag E-type bonnet....I think the price was £26K!! (a new E-type bonnet is £4.5K + VAT so work that out).

Anyway for all of us who have a hard top that we are not using how about this:



As it's art here is a black & white shot:



I don't have room for this in the garage so it's hung from the ceiling of my office with a 3:1 block and tackle using the hardtop's own front clips which seem to be well up to the weight ( I'm not using the stove in the corner). It swings out of the way if I need access to the book case and I rather like it.

It is certainly a talking point

Garage? How come it wasn't in the spare bedroom or the conservatory like 95% of all the other F/TF hardtops :lol:

Yes, I see your point but no conservatory...the spare bedroom is stuffed full of sailing gear at this time of year. The garage used to be similarly full of stuff too but when the MG arrived I had a serious clear out then installed a floor (something left undone from 1969) and loads of shelves and brackets....it's a tight fit even for something as small as the MG F but would you really want to leave it out all the time during a Highland winter? Last year we had 4 weeks when the temperature was below freezing continuously. :sick:

Yes. I have a piece of art on my spare bedroom wall. I like to call it "LE500 hardtop in blue".

i have a pair...... now that must make them rarer

You get nothing for a pair.
