That's the place, thanks. I couldn't remember the name.
It was originally owned by the late John Shute. He was an MG enthusiast and the MX5 was a concept from his offices done at his expense.The story has it that he originally offered it to MG as the new 'Midget', but the 'wise men' at MG/Rover said that small sports cars had had their day and they weren't interested. So he took it to Mazda and the rest, as they say, is pure history.
Then, ;later, along came the MGF - 'nuff said!

Hardly dwarfed though is it? It's substantially wider than every car in the street PAUL500 said:

Sorry to have offended you but it's not dwarfed and don't call me Jesus! PAUL500 said:

So the F40 is 241mm wider than the BMW E46 Touring ahead of it.
Based on the the white line running down the road and the width difference between the cars, I'll guarantee that the F40 is not parked a foot or so further from the pavement!

And the 'lady' in heels appears to be transitioning....
I have no idea what that means, probably better in another thread! Much like the Prancing Donkey. Maybe no woman should be driving a Ferrari, eh lads? Jeez.

Rubbish photo (in my defence, it was half three in the morning and three below zero). And don't give me all that about "it's nearer the camera" either Can't remember the last time I saw a Mini Marcos outside of a show, though arguably they were dwarfed by most things, even in period
