Sorry for the late reply (had to pop out...) as far as I'm concerned Martin's comprehensive answer is excellent, ...... however I didn't specify which make of car it first appeared .... and therefore our Cumbrian administrator is correct IMO ...
Ok, feel free to delete this one if David pops in, but a quick question.
The Ewings were famous in the Dallas soap opera, but can you link the Ewing name to a well known MG enthusiast and MGCC official in the Southern Hemisphere?
I was thinking the link was MGF with dim headlamps and a boiling engine but is it this?
