MG Quiz

ok ill have a dig tomorrow

Off topic but just as a matter of interest the MG Quiz has now


just passed the 50,000 views milestone :woohoo:

Time to get back to Mr F's question;

In 1947 the Y type – although conceived before the war – was produced. What was unusual in the production process?

and his clue;

It was not so much the car chassis and IFS but those, actually, and being somewhat rude, might have connotations and a link if one was a male chauvinistic pig?

I will never have another question worthy of the quiz but thought I'd have a go anyway :lol:

Does this have anything to do with female employees by any chance?

Laz

I have just got in - humour me with the specifics please :yesnod:

for laz

in 1947 the war was still on so all the men where fighting the war so it left the women to run the factories ect so the cars where assembled by women as guess lol

Mark for Laz

The war was over in 1945 but you are correct.

All the finishers were women


As demobilisation had been running since 1945 I cannot find out why this still continued - obviously due to the war effort men (& women) had been in the services but were returning to civilian occupations so by 1947 one would have thought that, at the least, it might have been a "mixed" line.

Nevertheless CORRECT - so Mark/Laz - Over to you

ok whats this car who was it for and why








and the year

so simple lol

You've only shown a bit of it, you could have given them a sporting chance, not made them climb a hill to the answer

No one can get it from that or can they

I just hope your facts are a bit more accurate than your knowledge of WWII

lol the back will give it away look at the wheels ?? pre war

of this is the FIRST photo iv put up (hint in there some where )

I don't believe it - I finally understood one of Mr Forgetful's cryptic clues :lol:

Actually - thinking about it - that's a bit scary

It's a point of no return, you're on a slippery slope now Laz :lol:

Come on then some one answer Marks question and lets get a few new questions in over the bank holiday.

We have looked at this car quite recently and found it had become a shade of Cherry

Well, I suppose someone should post an answer.
Looks like Cecil Kimber's Old Number One, built for 'sporting purposes' in 1925
