I distinctly remember the advertising campaign highlighting this very change. :yesnod:

I got it, whilst you were posting this :rant: In October 1968 (1969 model year) the front wing was changed, which brought the indicators closer to the grill opening?

Thank you to Mr Forgetful for making me think "outside the box" about an uneven grille.

This is a very special MGB the only one built :-?

Can you give the description of the car ? what it was used for ? When it was built and by whom?






Good Luck :whistle:

1) Lilac coloured MGB
2) Transportation
3) 1962 - a one eyed dyslexic Albanian (of Welsh descent) in longbridge

OR - I dunno but

Could it be one built for the London Motor Show at Earls Court in 1962 - given to Princess Margaret for Court Use and thus unregistered, built by - - well I'm back to my Albanian immigrant :-?
