At first it's a little difficult to believe that the idea made it past the drawing board. What's even more difficult to believe is that MG were trying to pull the same stunt with 10 year old Rovers/Hondas nearly forty years later!

Sorry. I was just suggesting that MG were playing the "don't change it, just stick a new grille and badge on it" card, much like this Wolseley.

What was your time? 10 minutes 50?

Welcome to UCP, great to see photos of this car. Would you have any more stories or pictures of your car, you simply don't find much information on these kinds of cars readily available and it's always great to hear from an owner.
