Classic MGs

Don Martine has been interested in cars since he was three years of age. A picture of him with a grease gun, attempting to lubricate his pedal car (age three) is in the display area at his Martine Inn - An elegant Bed & Breakfast that overlooks the magnificent Monterey Bay. Don's interest in MGs began in 1950 when his father, Homer Martine, purchased a 1949 MGTC. This interest was furthered when he watched Johnny Von Neumann drive his 1950 MGTD Special to victory at the inaugural Pebble Beach Road Races... a car that Don now owns and has on display.

The MG display area contains watercolors by Sandra Leitzinger, oil paintings by Peter Hearsey, posters, prints, photos, tools, signs, gas pumps, historic helmets, paraphernalia and checkered flag black and white-tiled floor. Don has a restoration shop near the inn where he restores these cars and builds the race engines for the race cars. Some of the cars that may be on display include the following cars. Note: If the doors to this display are closed, please ask the staff to open them so that you may see the cars up close.
