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

:bust: 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 :nonod: 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. :broon:

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 :broon: :coat:

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 :bust:

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:
