This was another powerful year for Sports Car Digest. There was rarely a dull moment in 2014 as we covered hundreds of historic rallies, vintage races, classic car auctions and events around the world. And we offer sincere thanks to our audience of historic car enthusiasts for actually reading them!
Leading the way in popularity for 2014 was the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, followed by the photo galleries from the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and the unbelievable story of Bruce Meyer’s encounter with DEA agents at Laguna Seca. Similar to 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, nearly all of the top stories included extensive photo galleries that accounted for a majority of the page views.

Pretty TF but the colours are all wrong…way too bright a red for an MG T series colour, and the dashboards were all done in TAN as were the steering wheels done light brown too. MG red was more the colour of dried blood.

Not sure which TF you are referring to, but I never saw any original red T series MG paint that wasn’t oxidized to a dead shade that approximated a scab. Texas sun was not kind to English paint.
Thanks, SCD, for giving me – already – many hours of entertainment in the New Year. Not sure my wife is so grateful.
