The 1954 MG TF Years:

This car was bought very used in 1961 driven for about 6 months before a body damaging accident in Mission Feb. of 1962. As often happens then a major resoration was under taken to bring to the condition you see in the picture here.This car was a driver and of course in those days clubs were really not a option. But it was a fun runner for getting to UBC and work lifeguarding in Burnaby most of the time. The picture is "on the lot" at CG Brown pool in central Burnaby. Click on the TF picture right to see the "shunt".

The 1964 MGB Years:

This car was bought with the orginal Sky Blue factory colour and after suffering a minor fender bender it was decided to change the colour to the metalic blue you see here ....not so sissy a colour. The "B" was a great driver much faster and very reliable. Picture taken at UBC's Simon Fraser Monument. See more there just click on the picture right to see the car in my "Blue period".
Nice change from the MG TF ...spent more time under that car ..than "on it".

The 1970 Morgan Years:

This car was ordered new in September of 1969 and arrived at GB Sterne's garage (the only B.C. dealer in the Pacific North West area) that spring. The car was sold to Stan Shigehiro (one of my former Coqutlam Parks and Receation collegues) in 1981. It is noted that several other MOG NW folks my have owned this car over the years. Current where abouts unknown. The picture was taken in Coquitlam about 1971. Click on the '70 Mog picture to see this car in "action in 1972".

The 1972 4/4 Morgan 4 "Seater" Years:

This car was GB Stern's son Bob's car and due to the change in the Canadian emission and crash tests languished in "the shop" for many years and then in quick succession was sold to a person up the Fraser Valley and then to Thomas Hobbs the famous Kerrisdale garden maven. Thomas sold it to me via a broker in 1982 with only 16,000 miles on the clock. The car is till with us and a regular driver for MOG NW events & this year (2009) it reached the 100,000 miles on the "clock mark". The picture illustrates what the car likes to do best; get out in all kinds of weather and go driving; click on it to see 100,000 miles on the clock.

The 1976 Jaguar XJC Years:

This car (fondly known as the "Purple Gherkin" so how named??Link here.) was owned from 1986 to 2002 and regularly displayed at shows all over the Pacific North West. At most showes from full judged concours to peoples choice it rarely placed below 3rd. This record includes several JCNA North American Championship awards. The car is pictured here "under the knife" (being judged in Championship class concours) at the Canadian XK Jaguar Register Heritage event a few years ago at the Waterfront Park in North Vancouver.

The 2003 Jaguar X Type Years:

This 2003 Jaguar X Type replaced the "Purple Gherkin" in May of 2003. The car has followed in the footsteps of the XJC continuing to place in the top three in the Pacific Northwest shows from Concours to people's choice. The big difference is the car shows and drives; completing everything from a "cross Canada" run to PEI in which the Ontario and Quebec legs of the 2004 JONAT event; and two times to Jasper. The most recent being the 2006 JONAT run ending in Bend for the JCNA Western States concours, click on the pic. right to see Lofty the Bear's travels on this event.
