MG TD TF 1500 - Owls Head Museum

I thought I would just mention to the forum that I spent a couple of hours last week at the Owls Head Transportation museum in Rockport Maine, and they had a display of MG's there that I wasn't aware of until I went in. I didn't count them, but there were about 15 MGs in the display. They are all apparently owned by the same fellow who has loaned them to the museum. They all appeared to be top quality restorations. Some may have been very well preserved survivors. One thing that impressed me was none of the cars had drip trays under them.
If any one is near by and hasn't seen these cars, they are worth the visit.

Sounds very interesting, photos?
There is an old joke over here that if the engine is not leaking oil then it must have run out!

Those were Gerry Goguen's cars.

They may have at one time been some of Gerry Goguen's cars, but a significant number now belong to Dick Cobb from Portland, ME,

These were the cars Gerry Goguen bought restored and/or restored for his planned museum; after his death the collection was bought en bloc by the Cobb's, who have now put them on loan-display at Owl's Head.

An image from Owls Head last year-don't know if the same ones are being displayed- I think they are not all still on display.
