MG MGA 2-door roadster Twin Cam

The MGA is a sports car that was produced by MG from 1955 until 1962.
Annual, Whimper Wonderland Run,
A high-performance Twin-Cam model was added for 1958. It used a high-compression (9.9:1 later 8.3:1) DOHC aluminium cylinder head version of the B-Series engine producing 108 hp (81 kW; 109 PS). Due to detonation problems, a 100 bhp (75 kW; 101 PS) low-compression version was introduced later. Four-wheel disc brakes by Dunlop were fitted, along with Dunlop peg drive knock-off steel wheels similar to wheels used on racing Jaguars, unique to the Twin-Cam and "DeLuxe" MGA 1600 and 1600 MkII roadsters. These wheels and chassis upgrades were used on a small number of the "DeLuxe" models built after Twin-Cam production came to a halt. Aside from the wheels, the only outside identifier was a "Twin-Cam" logo near the vent aside the bonnet. A careful look at the rear wheel vents would also reveal another feature unique to Twin-Cam and DeLuxe: those four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes mentioned above.
2,111 (2,210 according to some) produced.
An open car was tested by The Motor magazine in 1958 and was found to have a top speed of 113 mph (182 km/h), acceleration from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 9.1 seconds and a fuel consumption of 27.6 miles per imperial gallon (10.2 L/100 km; 23.0 mpg‑US) was recorded. The test car cost £1,283 including taxes of £428.
Happy New Year, first sunrise of the year!

Dingwall Station 1982
A wonderful picture of Dingwall station taken by Nick in 1982. There's a lot to take in least of all the Ford Cortina Mark 3 Estate parked on the platform. I'm no petrolhead so I stand to be corrected if it is a different model. It's got wing mirrors so dates the vehicle to probably 1972. On the far right of the picture you can just make out the edge of a Royal Mail van. Also present are Caledonian Railway Blue totem station signs. Beyond the four wheeled wooden parcels trolley is a shop selling tobacco and cigarettes. Finally at the very end is the Shunters' Bar where I had a heavy session also in 1982 during the Young Persons' Railcard free ticket offer. I believe there is still a bar there but now called Mallards.
The Royal Mail vans would take mail and parcels off the first trains from Inverness. Other vehicles would collect the day's newspapers printed in Glasgow such as the Scottish versions of the nationals plus the likes of the Scotsman, Herald and Daily Record. These would have been transferred at Inverness from the overnight portioned train from Glasgow and Edinburgh. If you want a printed national newspaper in the Highlands with your breakfast then forget it. Always lunchtime. A feature of the Highlands in the 1980s was the Royal Mail postbus which would operate from stations like Achnasheen and Lairg to provide public transport connections to the Highlands' more remote communities.
