We've seen some lovely cars out and about lately. The E-type was at the supermarket today, the other two parked up at Shobdon airfield recently. There were other classic cars there too but these really stood out to me. I would cheerfully zoom off in any of these despite being an #EV bore 😄 We used to have an MGF and for years my mum had MGs. These days we drive an electric MG which is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
