:woohoo:

That must be:- [....A roller blind was fitted to the rear window as an anti-glare mechanism....] but Wiki does not elaborate that his was for the Export market only, unless Tsleight is being crafty aagain and it was ALSO fitted to domestic market too!!!!!

I love the fact that Our BRIAN hurts!!! ( See Mr Young's post)

All yours Mr F!

I found the website and read everthing under the sun but NEVER found that £$%^&***++ quiz!!

Thanks Tsleight that really bugged me. ANYWAY the next question is:-

Please identify with just a little detail please. Thank you :evil:

Wow, an answer I have hopefully found quickly,

Is this a MG Mini ADO34?
a little detail:


Active between 1960 and 1964, ADO34 was a project to develop a Mini-based roadster, which would logically have replaced the MG Midget and Austin-Healey Sprite. Different versions were put forward by Austin at Longbridge and MG at Abingdon, while a coupé version (ADO35) was also developed, along with Austin-Healey versions of each car (ADO36).

ADO34 used Mini subframes and Mini Cooper 'S' mechanicals. The body was styled in Italy by Pininfarina. Regrettably the car was never put into production.

You'll find one at Gaydon.

Just pipped me there Gadget Recognised it from a book I'm reading and typed it into google and was led straight to the pic Mr F used KWD 348D

And they say I am convoluted :nonod:

Well done Garry & Rog as well, yes KWD 348D - I had thought it might last a little longer but great going guys.

Over to you Gary I'll have a look tomorrow when I get back from golf. :broon:

As far as i could see the ROLLER BLIND fitted to the REAR WINDOW was only put on "Export" Y types.

Pleased you noticed that my Brian was hurting, I had a name plate on my office door that said BRAIN YOUNG and it was six months before anyone noticed :slapme:

It won't be long before it should read Brain Young - but Body passed it :bust: :bust: :bust:

Next Quiz Question will be posted later this evening - been out all day and now off to a party with the girls....

However, if you can't wait that long I'll understand if someone wishes to post - If there are any new blood browsing this magnificent quiz, go a head and post a question, if no-one new has done so by the time I get back, I'll put mine up.

Thanks
Gary

Ok Everyone, start sifting through your (quite old) OK and HELLO magazines and gen-up on Societies movers and groovers!!!

Not the typical Techno question this time, no "special double-ended Sprangle braket with 1.5 anti-rotation twist" answers!!!

These are not from a book that which I am the owner of the only copy...........

Just who are the Celeb Owners, I have started you off very easily with a car you should probably recognise, but what about the others.......... :broon:

1. Rumour has it she was given her MGF to promote and boost Sales. No longer the owner of this famous Green N Reg MGF, she may still have an older TF which was her Fathers.



2. This Actress would have suited the image of her MGF as Corries Hair Dresser. After Her characters demise she was back promoting the Cool Blue SE.



3. To Put it Simply he owned a several MGF’s, not sure if any were Red though?

4. This World record breaker broke the sound barrier and achieved 763mph, not in his silver MGF, that would need a whole lot more Thrust……….

5. One certain 1997 N reg Amarenth MGF had two celebrity owners – How Posh. The owner I am looking for hadn’t been over the Brooklyn bridge and certainly didn’t know what she really, really wanted. Can you find out who she sold it too?

6. This ex Red cap bought a Silver MG TF, it was probably far to interesting for Ian Beale though.

7. Would you say the new TF is a good impression of the 02-05 T? Is that George W. Bush, it sounds like him, no wait it’s Tony Blair, No, Ozzy Osbourne I wonder what was going through his mind when the tyre blew and he hit the central reservation sending the car spinning across the carriageway, afterwards it was a “Dead Ringer” of a Write off.

Stuck on No 7.
