I weep a little every time I see this classic sticking out from under the trees and bushes. For those that are wondering, it is an MG Magnette.
This last summer I got to see a fully restored one (however not the one in the link) at a country show. The owner told me that in the sixties they were often used as stock cars as they were powerful and sturdy. Many were just raced and wrecked so there aren’t too many in good condition any more.
This is a fairly straight shot with only black and white conversion. It has an almost 3D effect in my opinion.

I saw her in this park…she was looking at the view…I did not see her face but her attitude was so strong that I could capture her…
