Norman & Mary enjoy playing with old cars - rebuilding and touring in them. They own a 1936 MGTA, a 1952 Jaguar XK120 and a 1971 Triumph Stag. They rebuilt the MGTA from a pile of bits and have used it on many long-distance tours. In 1998 they drove it from Halifax Nova Scotia to Florida and since then it has travelled most of Europe.

As we bought it in 1992 - all there but not in the right order!

The 1952 Jaguar XK120

I'm sure there should be something in there...

...Ah there it is...

...Better put it back!
