Correct Rog!

Well done. All yours...

Would someone mind taking my go ... I'm at work at moment and it's just a flying visit. I'll be out tonight, so earliest post I could make would be Thurs evening ..... not fair to make you wait that long:)

Since rog1963 is unavailable to place a new question, here is a very rare MG for you to identify



Pysmon and todds200 may recognise this?

There were 24 produced and cost about three times the standard version, there was no No.13 in the first batch so the cars were numbered 1 - 25

Good luck ladies and gentlemen

Rog, sorry to be a nerd

You were correct but it is a 1964 MG BERLINETTE and featured at the 1964 Brussels Motor Show. The one in the photos with Reg CBW 55B was ordered by Walter Oldfield, MD of Nuffield Press who used it as his company car, it was evaluated by a number of BMC top brass. Oldfield kept the car for a number of years before it went to Mike Akers, who worked at Cowley. It was sold in 1970 by a London Dealer with 30,000 miles on the clock, to a member of the Coune family. This was the only Right Hand Drive Berlinette that was made. It is beleived that 18 of the 56 made still survive today.

It was an excellent question from Tsleight.

Is that a Tickford MG Maestro?

MG METRO 6R4

Oh and that Berlinette is a lovely looking car-like an Aston Martin/Ferrari cross?

I thought so too John. Beautiful car.

Thank you John, could it be MG "Aston Martin" Tickford Turbo Metro. (there is an AM badge on the steering wheel)

I think it should be your prize.
