Default Scout car hit car or is it car hits scout car

I don't think the car owner likes Dingo any more. Having someone backing his car into my Dingo many years ago no harm was done, this look worse for the Dingo. MG TD is definitely written off I think.

Hi Peter,

Nice photo. It certainly must have hurt, on both sides I imagine.

Dingo is very odd looking with a welded roof top. Looks like there is a pedestal for a machine gun on top also. Do you know anything else about this photo?

Cheers,

Default impacts

The poor person in the car probably wound up in a cemetary. The people in the Dingo probably felt it too. I remember a friend in a Sunbeam Tiger who hit the back of a telephone truck in Pennsylvania and smashed his car pretty good.The truck stopped about a 1/4 mile down the road as they saw him in their mirror. All they felt in the truck was a little bump ,as if they went over a pothole

the MG is a TD made from 1950 to 53 so that gives a lower limit to the date range. My guess is mid 50s
