MG Quiz

Paul - a starter for 10

2011 - MG6 - First all new MG for 16 years - What about the MG X-Power SV (2002) - before John bangs on about it

Production TF and Magnette ZAs use a *501 VIN start, from BMC’s Birmingham headquarters telephone number

NOT AS STATED 101 - that was for the TF at Longbridge

That's very good, very good all correct and not the one I was after.

The mistake I'm after relates to a recent question I set, the devil's in the detail. MG Motors have given it the wrong engine :bang:

I have the bill of sale to prove it

WL 2226 - I've seen a picture of that recently (research -duhhhh) it's not a K3 so what is it and why is it pictured where it is - or is it just an "example" of a MG? :bang:

Ah yes - a 14/28 - sorry, I'm a bit dense you know :yesnod:

WL 2226 - You've got me going now, Bryan posted a photo of it didn't he? I've been back to page 92 of this thread and can't see it he must have posted it in another thread.

The MG Motor Milestone fact that I had in mind you've not mentioned. Look at my previous post.

Have you ANY idea how many "tabs" I have open!! I need a drink

100,000

Not Guilty :slapme: Posted a photo of an 18/80 and the Tigress and niether have that reg number. er, what was the question????

Wednesday, 16 May 1956 – 100,000th MG was an LHD MGA 1500 Do YOU have it? :slapme:

But it's not on the website question/answer/ Oh yes it is - I'm really confused now Forgive me but I still don't get the wrong engine you refer to - A & B re the models is correct

As you see the 100,000th MG, the LHD MGA was a 1600 not 1500 as stated on the MG Motor website.

see here

Mr Forgetful, for all you research and for spotting the other errors, you deserve the win :woohoo:


Ted it's your turn

Now sir, I am confused.com - this is, is it not the 100000th MGA which was a 1600 in 1962 because I understood (and you are a better MG fanatic that whot I is Gunga Dinn) that the 100000th MG was a MGA in 1956 and that the twin cam and 1600 didn't come along until 1958/9.

Now I knows my place - bottom of the heap but is I right or is I wrong. I feel a little like Oliver asking for more

I am confused too, all of the records i can find shows that the 100,000 MG was a Left hand drive 1500 MGA in 1956, this one is dated March 1962 would the chassis number of 107,989 give a clue :yesnod:
