MG Mitten Accessories...

I've seen this same ad in Color.
Very nice in color...

Imported by Max Hoffman.
I saw something that said Max Hoffman was Dustin Hoffman's uncle...

Nice gauges.

A pretty large ad for Autobooks store in Burbank, CA.
It was still there when I first visited Autobooks.
Then it moved to a much smaller location also in Burbank.
Still survives today...

 

Motor Trend 100 years of the Automobile -- Part 5

I test drove an XR4Ti in 1988, to possibly buy one.  They were offering huge company discounts.
The turbo lag was unbelievably bad, so much so that it alone kept me from considering a purchase.

This was actually a very nice car.
Didn't sell very well in the US but much better than the Mitsubishis that came later.



Rare to see a white Bugatti Type35/37...
