If so I don't have any idea what 1936 could relate to :blink:

And what followed the series from the MGF?...

Now I really am confused

AFAIK After our MGF came the TF. The TF lettering having first been used on the 1953 MG TF Midget.

The MG F-Type Magna, produced 1931 - 1932 was followed by the J-Type Midget (1932), the K-Type Magnette (1932), the L-Type Magna (1933), the KN (1933), the N-Type Magnette (1934), the P-Type Midget (1934), the Q-Type (1934), the R-Type (1935).

Then in 1936 the MG TA Midget and the MG SA were produced.

Was it a special edition produced in 1936?

Nope. You just haven't followed on from 1936...

1936 is the date that Motor Panels Coventry Ltd, Dunlop Road, Holbrook Lane Coventry started making pressed steel motor body panels ~ this same company under the name of Mayflower Bodies (Part of Motor Panels UK Ltd) Coventry were the company that entered into a joint venture in 1995 to make the bodies for the MGF Mayflower went into receivership and were rescued by Stadco who continued to make the TF bodies until the demise of MG Rover. Stadco did not make the bodies for the TF LE500 because the Chinese decided to make new tooling and press the panels in China. Stadco decided to "melt down" all of the tooling for the F & TF (along with other tooling they had) This didn't happen and all of this tooling has been rescued by British Motor Heritage in Witney.

That is my MG link from 1936 to 1995 ????

This was the righT idea, it just stopped too soon...

Is it that leading on from 1936 (MG TA) the next real new model was the MG TF and leading on from 1995 the next new model was the MG TF?

I'm going to be mean John! Almost but not quite... Almost the opposite in fact...

Ok, The MG TF's that follow are both re vamps of the earlier cars-MG TA and MGF?

Well the MG TA succeeded the MG P type in 1936 which was made as both a two seater open top and airline coupe. The MGF suceeded the MGB which was made in both two seater open top and in MGBGT format, coupe format. Off the wall – maybe, but adds to the discussion (I Hope!!).

Is there a way we can stop Mr Forgetful from setting questions
