And I'll have you know that the Cambridge Guided Bus is the Worlds longest Guided Bus route. Also the LATEST: Took 18 months longer to be built than they said due to allsorts of cock-ups! So obviously far more expensive as well...

I'm a real teddy bear - honestly although I may have to go away for a while if you keep having all these complicated picture ones :coat:

Oxford - original home of MG ?? Take your pick but I got it on Google HE HE HE :broon:

The place, Cambridge Guided Busway, or the artist impression of it.

The MG link, well I'm not sure it's the one you're after but how about you can see the MG owners club from the CGB?


More precise please!


BTW Tsleight, more precise after the clue you started us with :pinch:

Just wait till you try answering my next one, I'll give you precise :whistle:

Now I’ll try not to make this too complicated. It IS MG but you might need to think slightly outside the box. :-?
The question is the Model, The Where and the When (approximately) :evil:
I have most thoughtfully, supplied a small montage of pictures for you as I KNOW you like pictures. Hopefully big enough.

Helpful hints
The Model had a number of Marks and several close relations
The Where – One time friends who have met on the field of battle in more ways than one - now who Knows? – That’s the Country and
The name sounds as if it has connections with Germany, Italy and possibly an old Thailand - Manufacturing Plant
“Those were the days”



Now compared with the Oxford picture, you have loads of clues AND pictures. Surely it's pretty simple for you aficiendos :woohoo:

The Model is The Di Tella Magnette, made in Beunos Aires, Argentina between 1960 and 1966, it was initally based on the Mk 3 MG Magnette, then the Mk4. The Pick up in the picture is a Riley 1500 not an MG and was named Argenta Pick -up.
