A concept which will never see the light of day :P

OK New MG Quiz question of a slightly different style.

Can you sort out these MG anagrams,

1.) Be crick mile.

2.) Unfilled Ford

3.) Gonad bin

4.) Payment-get ten

5.) Jig a beam until noon


Play nicely this time :beer:

Just to point you in the right direction and in no particular order the anagrams spell out;

a car, a person, a place, a company and another person

All closely related to MG. :yesnod:

Let's see where we're up to with the MG anagrams,

1.) Be crick mile.

2.) Unfilled Ford

3.) Gonad bin

4.) Payment-get ten

5.) Jig a beam until noon


David has correctly sorted 1.) Cecil Kimber and 3.) Abingdon

Mark :lol: a valiant effort, but you do need to use each of the letters once. Better luck next time.

OK that just leaves # 2, 4 and 5. So, again in no particular order, you have to find a car, a person and a company

Me too :dry: I'm down to my last couple of hundred :bust:

Some are trying too hard to find the most obscure MG one off ever built. Questions don't need to be complex, just a simple what is it photo from an odd angle, a place relating to any MG activity, a person connected to MG in some way, an MG in a film, book or TV show, a technical question about a car or photo of an interior.

We have almost 90 years of rich history to play with and a worldwide following, so plenty of inspiration.

Yes some of the easy more straight forward ones have been used, but there are many still waiting to be asked.

It's just a bit of fun :beer:

I have noted the comment about obscure special-bodied MGs and admit that I came across the Castagna bodied Y Type via Google but I have known about the Indy 500 Liquid Suspension Special since seeing it pictured in a History Of The Indianapolis 500 I borrowed from the library when I was growing up in the late 60s/70s. I also remembered Bill Nicholson's MGB from that period. I always bought Motor Sport every month and borrowed my friend's Motoring News every week.

Had they raced MGs the question could have been about the likes of Colin Hawker (DFV engined Volkswagen TL), Dave Brodie ("Run, Baby, Run" Escorts and Capris), Mike Smith (Yes, the one married to Sarah Greene who raced Escorts) and various other SuperSaloon cars. Not forgetting the Great Gerry Marshall (Big Bertha and Baby Bertha 5.0V8 Repco engined Vauxhall Ventora and Vauxhall Magnum respectively.
