Jim Plowden with his 1962 Sebring MGA
(at American Driving Museum)


One notable car I have touched in the past month was one of the 1962 MGA Sebring race cars, belonging to Jim Plowden in Los Angeles, found currently on display at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo. I got to scratch and sniff, inspect and take a lot of pictures to expand one of my web pages about this special MGA. Really neat to touch a 55-year-old piece of history. There were several other vintage British cars in the same museum, as well as an Austin Bantam, the American built version of the Austin Seven.

Until next time, find many more photos and notes and follow our follies at http://MGAguru.com/mobile
