[quote R1UCL93UF727K99Z]I would love to have the 1940 MG TB I owned briefly while doing my flying training, but could never afford to buy it, if it still exists.[/quote] Hasbeen there are twenty one MG TBs recorded on the club's Pre War Register albeit information is scant on several. However there is a single Tickford recorded but this is noted as a recent import. A TC is much more commonly available and the experience behind the wheel would be virtually identical to the TB. A TC remains an affordable classic if that is where your interest falls with good cars available in the $40 to $50k range. My son has recently acquired a very tidy VH Commodore for under $30k with the original 253 V8 still going strong. A practical classic now forty years old which would still serve as a useful family car with reasonable maintenance costs and good potential for capital appreciation.
