Isn't it always the case that dad is the hardest to shop for? My father is an MG fan, thats his car of choice, and I need to find a cool Xmas gift for good ol dad.
Some ideas I had were
Mg Zippo- Apparently incredibly rare and ridiculously expensive
Original knock off hammer - none of his MGs have ever had this included in their original tool kit, and by the looks of the internets, the original ones simply dont exist, i cannot find a certifiable original equipment knock off hammer anywhere.
Old Sign- I found a nice one on Ebay.co.uk that appears to be period correct, and as a fan of american pickers, i am sure he would appreciate it, but it doesnt carry the flair I would hope for.
Oppo, any ideas for gifts for an MG fan? Unfortunately the MG community is very small, and mostly computer illiterate these days, the message boards are like a ghost town.

You could always go with an A/Magnette/TF radiator badge. Offer to mount it to his computer, desk, or other object:

To paraphrase Tom and Ray - a tow truck.

But seriously - I'd keep trying for the hammer. That shows you care.

And patina can be added - he never needs to know.
Who doesn't love knockoffs?

Some sites worth a look through if you haven't already. Some are U.S. based and some U.K. based.

Does he already have a tweed driving cap? If not, that.
Also, maybe check out MG's online store - shop.mg.co.uk.
