Some years ago, a reference to MG TA reg. BBL 84 was added to the “find a friend” (ie car finding) page. The son of the car’s owner from 1945 had been in touch, wondering what had become of his father’s old motor. Fast forward to 2015, and Nicholas contacted me via Facebook, with a photograph of the self-same car, BBL 84, in the mid-1950s. With it, he added the following details:

Seen outside the Dunn Inn, Cockington, Devon in 1954. The lady in the car is Audrey Hart-Still, seen with her boyfriend Frank. Sadly Audrey, a keen artist and archer, died in 1957 aged just 27. She was my cousin, and lived in Worthing. I don’t know what happened to the MG TA. Lovely car, hopefully it’s still being enjoyed by someone, somewhere.”
