1957 airbody

notice Paddys car has the Sebring Valance , which curves under , yellow car has a repo of the *works* Special Tuning Fairing which has a lip,i call them chin fairing . late production limited edition had a less aggressive version ..
can not speak to the FE of it i got it to settle Lift at road speed..
i want some sebring covers for my headlight wells but they are dear..

here is another MG air body circa 1957
