I'm familiar with the car. It was built, I believe, by its previous owner here in So Cal. Bit of an odd duck! It was intended to resemble one of the factory runabouts in the early 50's.

In 1930/1 MG made what they called High Speed Service Vans, basically re-bodied M-type cars with a van body. This TC is a modern hommage to those early cars, made in Southern California.
The picture one sees of RX7884 is clearly original and from the 30's; MGM29 may be the same vehicle with a different registration, a modern image of another van or or a replica.
See:

I recently came across something about the ex-Edsel Ford M-Type displayed in that second Shelburne video by Curtis Beck as being in a museum in Pennsylvania. Does anybody know which museum?
