MG Quiz

2nd attempt...

It had neither a wooden dash nor wire wheels?

Dash was cloth coverde in a bronze colour? Wheels were pressed steel as they were much cheaper to produce.

Excellent - there that was easy wasn't it? I hoped the "clues" in the question would help (careful, not knots, wireless) It was a bit of a Trick Question

Answer as you said Tsleight was

The MGTD has a plywood dashboard that was always covered in vinal cloth (rexine) to match the interior fabric. In the period, as is today, wooden dashboards were very popular accessories.

Wire wheels were not offered by the factory until the production of the MGTD ceased. It was in 1954 when the MGTF offered wire wheels as an option that the factory offered an 'upgrade' kit for the MGTD. It is possible that some of the very late 1953 MGTD's could have been retrofitted by dealers with these wire wheels before being sold for the first time

So - over to you. Paul, Martin where were you - Brian is at a pub according to the squawk box - sorry SHOUT box (which I have the volume off and hardly ever look at!!!

Ok...

Another question about a rarer model. What is this and from what era/basis does it come from?

:ohmy: Haven't we seen this before? I know it was mentioned at some point.

It is the first car produced by Arnolt Inc of Chicago. It is the Arnolt-MG, a Bertone-bodied car based on the MG TD.

It was planned that 200 would be built but it looks like only 103 were built between 1953 and 1954.
The three other cars they produced were the Arnolt Aston, Arnolt Bentley and an Arnolt Bristol.

Okay, here's an interesting question....What is the longest time that MG has been out of production? Also, how many times has continual production of MG's stoppedAnd I don't mean the start of time until 1924 !

6 years from 1976 - 1982? For WW2 they had a five year gap in the production of cars
