Mine is an inverse picture clue. Can someone post a picture of a well known TV gardener sat in a 1950's MG?

Well done Rog! All yours...


Charlie opens record-breaking Fete
TV GARDENER and presenter Charlie Dimmock opened Wellow Fete on Sunday.
Charlie, who grew up in Wellow, had her mother Sue Dimmock at her side.
During the fete Charlie was more interested in vintage cars than horticultural matters - paying particular attention to a 51-year-old MG owned by Lindsay Gates.
The fete raised in the region of £1,800 and the cash will go to the Wellow and District branch of the Royal British Legion.
Chairman of the Wellow Fete committee, Frank Moody, said: "It's probably a record amount of money raised and I am very pleased."
Attractions at the traditional English village fete included a juggler, a vintage car display, a tae kwan do display team from Romsey and music from Shaftesbury Town Band.

So, we are looking for a car (a fake perhaps) As Mr F has already spotted there are two different cars here. Could one be the real one that leads you to the other?
Also, for those who have missed the shoutbox clues, you need to look across the channel and for a plagiarised Octagon.
And i'll add this:

:bust: Oh ME oh my... Le voilà !

Nice find rog1963.



The car in the video and the question is the ERAD 8/10th replica MG TA Midget produced in Northern France.

The lightweight (320kg) car was available with an electric motor, a 2 cylinder KUBOTA 600cc diesel engine or an Aprilla 125cc petrol engine

The company used an ME logo bearing a great resemblance to the MG logo.

The following 1983 ERAD, fitted with 125cc engine is currently up for sale for 6500 Euro







The first picture posted by rog1963 is of an original 1938 MG TA Midget which is still in use today in the UK, Brain will probably know the owner :lol:
