"In connection with the 75th anniversary of D-Day, a display of vintage vehicles was on show on Southsea Common. I approached this MG PA just as the owner's attention was caught by a helicopter flying past, while his father noticed me," writes Your Shot photographer Elizabeth Allen. "Just under 2,000 MG PAs were manufactured in 1934 having an engine size of 347cc with around 36bhp and costing £222. This one was bought in 1957 for £120, driven until 1962 and eventually relaunched in 2015."
