TSleight- and everyone.

Please excuse me jumping in, I wonder if I can ask you all a quick MG related question on behalf of our Dutch friends at the Dutch Register.

Does anyone know the official Production figures for the MG Spark Edition, There is the 1000 UK figure on the MG Evolution web page, but what would the total be.

If you can manage a breakdown by
a) total with EU figures
b) By engine Derivative
c) by Colour.

Ad's (aka Brooklands) question was posted on the MGF Register site, I told him that if anyone would know, someone on here would, and as it is MG related I thought it might fit in nicely on here.

Tsleight - Please continue to post your question for the main flow of the quiz, answers can be posted on the MGF Register for any members, his question is under the General Board

Thanks everyone

Gary.

It looks like a kit car. The seats are not original, the wheels are too big ....it just looks slightly ...not quite right.

I would say it is a MG TD replica model but as to why it's sacrilegious I don't know :-? Is it fitted with an MX5 engine :bust:

Looking at the doors these open as per the original which leads me to believe this might be a Harper Rosco or a Naylor which accurate to the point that the parts were used for the originals.

However, the Naylor cars were based, iirc, on a Marina front suspension? I have seen a one Naylor fitted with a K Series as opposed to the original SOHC O Series 1800. HR were American, I think.

Apart from the above mentioned New Zealand kit based on an MX5 and the Gentry that is about it for TF replica, that I know.

Nope. Though you are in the right location... Not the right car though.
