Might help if she actually looked happy to be there. I need to find a Brooklands Green bikini and take some pics of my wife with my car
Thought I'd post a link to the dealer's online ad in case anyone wants to see the rest of the pics. Funny how cars show up like this in your own neighborhood..and you've never seen them before!

Dwight,
If you find one, please ask her to smile, or at least look as if she might at least be enjoying herself. It will make the pics much more appealing if she doesn't look bored to tears.
I notice that thus far, no one has made any comment as to the condition of the MG that is for sale, so perhaps it might work!!.

Possibilities.
1. She's the car's owner.
2. She's the dealer's wife and she "insists" on helping him with his work.
3. She's his daughter, and he's trying to get her modeling career started.
This reminds me of a certain kind of weekend car dealer ad on TV here in Los Angeles where the volume goes up and the scantily clad young ladies drape themselves all over the pickup trucks. I don't buy from dealers like that. It doesn't make me want to look at the car, and it doesn't make me comfortable going to look at the car because it makes the seller look a little tacky. Wouldn't conservative religious people be a little offended, and why scare those potential buyers off? I don't get it.
The problem is not that the young lady isn't smiling. It's that she knows that a girl in a bikini oozing all over a car is really stupid but she could really use the money.
That car seems nice enough.

there seems to be some ripples in the rear fenders...
The rear bumper needs some weight removed
Louvers detract from what should be smooth curves
do I detect bachelor lean?
The spare is a relic from the stone age. 165SR14 hope the other tires are not those.
$8.8 for a 77 in that condition is a tad overpriced if the model doesn't come with it, if she does it might be worth the numbers if she could be taught to pose and smile.
