JKR 411 ON ITS WAY TO SUNNY VIRGINIA, USA
Dear Matthew, I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I wanted you to know that the shipment of the 1947 MG TC from the UK to the USA on July 7th was successful. I wanted to thank you all for arranging the transportation and it was a pleasure doing business with you.
Best Wishes, Steve Mefferd, Virginia, USA
PS - I'll attach a photo of how I collected the TC after it's travel from Heathrow to Dulles, Virginia and later, it sitting in front of my house with the old suitcase Matthew gave us.

PS - I will attach a photo of the 1947 Virginia license plate, which is co-registered here with the? UK JKR 411 - the TC has been given "dual citizenship" by Virginia.

Hello Matthew and Kelly,
I wanted you to know that JKR 411 traveled to the Virginia Scottish Games (www.vascottishgames.org) and while there were no official awarded or judging, the 1947 TC was admired by all. It also traveled the open highway just wonderfully, I think the TC is getting to be very much at home over here. JKR 411 was surrounded by MG's, Morgans, Bentleys, Triumphs, Rolls Royce's, and even a Riley Imp - I'll attach a photo of part of the line-up - but with 125 cars in the show, it was difficult to include all. I hope all is well - I told several people of your wonderful service - so perhaps you will have to deal with more of us on this side of
the pond.
Yours sincerely
Steve Mefferd

Hello Matthew, JKR 411 continues to fit in here in the states. ? Just last weekend, the city of Alexandria, Virginia had the Scottish Christmas Walk parade and the MG TC represented the British Embassy - see attached photo. ?As you can imagine, I've been thoroughly enjoying this wonderful old car all summer and fall. ?The car was exactly as you stated, a wonderful restoration and a pleasure to drive. ?It's starting to get chilly in Virginia, so perhaps, with no windows nor heater, the car may have a few months off.
Best wishes for your holiday
Steve Mefferd

Dear Matthew, You may remember that JKR 411, has just celebrated it's first year here in the states. In addition to winning every car show it has entered, it continues to delight not only the people who admire it, but has given me priceless pleasure to drive and enjoy this distinguished automobile. Just yesterday I drove down to the the US Capitol Building in the early evening and the setting sun, the Capitol Building and the lovely TC created a wonderful photo - which is attached. One of the special police asked to have his cruiser photographed with the TC. The car continues to run flawlessly.
Best Wishes to all
Steve Mefferd
