That's extremely creative thinking, however ignore the cars and think more about what they're on.

96 MGF 1.8i: Project Rally Car
98 MGF Abingdon" 285H cams, modded head etc
87 MG Metro: 1440cc fast road car
88 MG Metro Turbo
70 MG Midget: 1.9L VVC + supercharger + RWD = YEEHAA!
72 MGBGT: Project Speed 6 MGB
05 MG ZT-T 260: wife's sensible car
01 MG ZS 180: LHD, for driving around Germany in

That is a photo taken at the L’autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry race track in France.

The MG C-type was produced by the MG Car company from 1931 to 1932. It was designed for competition use and based on the M-Type Midget. A special car, EX120 had been developed from the M-Type for George Eyston to make an attempt on the 750 cc class 24 hour record at Autodrome de Montlhéry in France. The attempt was successful and a series of replica cars were made which became the C-Type.

The link, the MG Montlhéry C-type Midget.


PQD has it. And here I was worried it was a little left-field.

While you consider David's new question let's have a look at the state of play.

Heading up the rear group we have bensewell and whiz




The leading pack shapes up like this..




Having completed an amazing 512 questions the overall MG Quiz hall of fame has hit a few notable milestones.

alanrt54 has reached a superb 30,MartinW has racked up his half century and PQD44 has reached an anorak 100
