(Picture above)
This postcard is from John o’Groats, the far northwestern tip of the mainland of The United Kingdom, and sort-of the opposite from Land’s End. The car in the foreground is one of the large saloons that were the beginning of MG. It looks much like a 14/40 or 18/80 from the late 20’s.
From Reinout Vogt.
For a long time already we have been publishing Post Cards from Karel, my friend in the Netherlands who collects old post cards, from places around the world, that happen to have an MG in them. I have a shoe box full of Greeting Cards, some for an occasion such as the Holidays, some with a commercial back ground, and some just because they have wonderful art on them. The shoe box full of cards has been sitting on a shelf in our office for years and moved with us from Chicago to Decatur. Recently we decided to use them as, well…. , greeting cards. For whenever we need to send a card to an MG friend. But before we do, I thought I put them in the newsletter, along with Karel’s post card. This month works out really well. Karel has a card with a 14/40 or 18/80 and I found an old Holiday Card with the same MG model. Although it is Spring and a card with snow seems out of place, it makes for a nice first time to publish two cards together in a new series. Hope you enjoy.
