Just while we are awaiting the next challenge a quick word of explanation regarding my earlier post.

The Vintage Racing SE MGTF was a limited run of 30 LHD cars made for the French market ( MGF/TF QI Facts Thread will soon have some additional notes including some Vintage Racing ones).

A member of the T-Bar, meetwithdamien had his car modified to look like the Vintage Racing SE. In place of the Vintage Racing logo by the the side air vents Damien's has the words A Good Omen.
The devil is in the details refers to the registration number which includes 666 and to the fact that the picture posted by Psymon could have been Damien's car except that you can see the blue stripes are just slightly in a different position to that of the Vintage Racing.

In my opinion, this (Damien's) is one of the best looking MGF/TF cars in the country and with the TT Mk4 one of the best sounding cars :thumbsup:



You can find Damien's album here

There is another one in the UK, see if i can find the pictures.

Very well done, spot on ~ there are only 10 of the 30 that were made that can still be located in France & Belgium , one of which (No, 23) is without its blue stripes. The blue stripes were painted on not an applied pvc. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Right then i will post another question.

What is special about this MGF ?

I have done some research on the Vintage Racing, the number known is 24 out of 30, see this new thread

The origin of the white and blue stripes dates back to Citroen racing colours




Not the first MG to be painted this colour scheme, here is an MGA



Finally, a photo of a couple of distant relatives





OK so on to the new challenge......

N807 SVC in Amaranth.............. I'll stay out of this one unless pressed

That hardtop is crime, what a clash :sick:

The hardtop is that colour for a reason And i wont press you for an answer, you are too clever by half :broon: let someone else have a go

I hope it is a very, very good reason for that awful colour combination

Ok , firstly Paul thanks for the very nice comments......! Ok so here are a couple of shots I took at Gaydon last year when I was having my new roof put on..... as far as I am aware there are 3 "vintage Racing" looking TF's around.... Mine in west London, Karls down in Sussex and Im not sure where the other chap is... but here they all are at Gaydon 2010
