MG swap meet in Lake Forest (Saturday, December 9)

Brasil flag...  I don't think it's for a car though...

This guy had an interesting assortment of stuff...  Asking way too much though...

Super cool interior.  Interesting "sprung" steering wheel and what looks like a "sprung" steering column.  The car is a XK120 coupe.


One of the best looking engines of all time (along with '20s Bugatti, '50s Alfa, etc.)

XK120 Grille (stamped, as opposed to "built-up" like the later larger grilles...).  Very narrow and tall.  Overheating was an issue on these cars...


Rex Parker's 1971 280S (with 3.5L V8 engine)

The upper door hinge mounting location is a welded on piece to the hinge pillar.  A very labor intensive and precision requiring process...

This is a pretty rare car to see.  It's a 1961 Jaguar 420 (with the XK I6 engine and an automatic transmission)

This is a D-Type replica.  It's pretty nice...

A '60s Moto Guzzi (front drum brake)

XK150 -- Beautiful details...

An early Lotus 7.  The car I most wanted to drive away in...
