what is this car?
Looks like the Brit car the snotty Professor in the film "Back to School" drove (sans wire-wheels). I thought that was a Morgan, but a google says a 1945-50 MG TC Midget. Perhaps the Morgan was related since some Brit cars then were incetuous. If interested, I recall a Wheeler-Dealers episode restored a Morgan.
