so I'm on my way to mg live at
Silverstone the home of the British
Grand Prix this is the largest gathering
of mg owners in the world this is
absolutely incredible it's just a sea of
mgs it's a sea of steel and chrome and
flat caps and beards I seem to be
getting quite a lot of stares
maybe they know this isn't a true mg
maybe they just like the car let's go
find out hello guys do you know what
I've got it is beautiful I mean that is
beautiful really in MTV's would you have
one well now because I like original car
you like originals
how much is this well why don't you
guess throw a number out there
I don't know 80 grand higher cost a fair
bit of money great so you could have
ninety or hundred yeah
rescue cars like this yes yeah although
one of these what would you go for so a
mixed bag from the punters but what did
the club's top brass think I've got
Abingdon Edition outside you've got this
old looking shell with modern interior
modern underpinnings it brings the two
things together I think it's fantastic
but you think it kind of ruins the
authenticity of the of the original no
not at all is it true to the spirit of
the original it's keeping the name of
mgs going I'm always interested to know
what mgs would have done if they'd still
have been going today
how cool is this I've been invited to
take part on this parade laughter mg
live
at first I thought that they might hate
the Abbington edition but that couldn't
be further from the truth I learned that
people in the mg Club they're not
elitist
they just want to have fun together as
part of a group
[Music]
it might not be for me but it's great
that it puts a smile on so many people's
faces
