MY HUSBAND'S CANADIAN LOVE

I am a bit distressed over mixing the date of Canada Day.

So I'll reveal a secret to make up for it.

Gunnar has had a long going affair with an English/ Canadian Lady.

She's younger than me and he fell in love with her at the age of 21, AND HE'S STILL MADLY IN LOVE.

I am a fourty-niner, she's born in 1954.

English born, but set sails for Canada the same year.

She landed in Vancouver and was immediately adopted by a Vancouverian family, whose name is still unknown to us.

Her name is Morris Garages, if that rings a bell to anyone..

and she's formally addressed as MG TF 1954.

In the years she stayed with this Vancouverian family, her skin was changed from black to salmon pink and ended up as ebony white.

Our spring of 87

English Jeff and Norwegian Thurid met in Vancouver 1963. They fell in love, bought themselves the car and drove Canada coast to coast, before the three of them went to live in Norway.

My Gunnar was a poor student when he first met with the MG in 1970. (Jeff and Thurid were running a farm and had meanwhile changed to Rovers.)

First he asked Thurid if he might be allowed to buy the car of his dreams, and then he pledged his father for financial support.

The girl of his dreams became his for 1200 American dollars, and that was quite a sum in those days.

He also had to give his word, never to let her out with a salmon pink coat again.

By now the two of them have stayed together for 36 years. Gunnar has picked her apart and rebuilt her two times. She's changed from dark blue to ivory white, including eleven layers of special coating.

20 years ago, when Gunnar and I became a pair, she carried us all over the county.

Gee, was I proud, when he drove me to work in that little, white wonder.

Spring of-07

Being a genuine vintage car enthusiast, Gunnar has all the facts, books and papers of his car, except for one.

What was the name of her first owner??
Does anybody remember seing this beaty riding the Canadian roads from 1954 to 63??

The person able to supply us with information, will be offered a free ride....at least in Norway.

Any kind of information will be highly appreciated by the whole family.

It's all about roots, or rather about peerage when the Noble Lady MG's concerned.

Good night, sweet princess of the garage.
