Troublemaker :yesnod: Not sure if this will work



I may be old but I’m not senile:-
It’s just that I can’t remember whether it’s Alzheimer’s or Amnesia

Have I made this one too tough? :coat:

The info can be found online, it's knowing where to look! ;)

I'll have one last go :whistle:

In New Zealand, the MG badge appeared on the late 1980s Montego estate, called the MG 2.0 Si Wagon
Built at Standard Triumph/ Leyland Commercial plant at Nelson as by that time (late 1980's) Newmarket, Panmure and Petone had been closed.

I have no faith in this as I can find no reference to it (Montego) being built in New Zealand but I'm hungrey and tired and have so many "tabs" open I'm goggle eyed. Night Night :coat:

Since MartinW has disappeared for the night, here is one just to have a go at in the meantime.



Will post another photo in a little while if no one gets it from this one. OK here goes;

Bit of explanation required for the answer :whistle: sorry

Who is the designer?
What is the name of the car?
Where did he get his inspiration for this car?
Why would each production car be unique?

Sorry, I thought everyone else had gone. I was busy reading up on New Zealand on AROnline, but nothing about MG Montegos. :(

Further to the clue I gave earlier about the Di Tella being the right era think a little smaller than the badge engineered Farina Magnette to another Farina styled MG that was part of the badge-engineering. That will give you a clue to the MG that was made with a high degree of local content in two separate plants elsewhere in the world. Do I need to give a bigger clue?

So far:
1) MGB made at Zetland, Sydney, Australia
2)
3)

1) MGB made at Zetland, Sydney, Australia
2) Austin Apache, Blackheath, South Africa
3) Morris Nomad, Australia

2 & 3 both based on the ADO16 which had been a badge engineered MG

That's for MartinW - all this is getting far, far too complicated :woohoo:
