Correct, and for extra kudos, can you state the location in Oklahoma?

Over to you, anyway.

The link I saw stated Oklahoma City and City of Ardmore, so I'm guessing one of them

What MG is this?

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

Oh goody, goody, one i can answer again.

EX-172 1952 UMG 400 This is not an MGA, but is a re bodied MG TD built by Syd Enever to run at La Mans in 1952. The success of this car ultimately led MG to the MGA. See EX-175 prototype.

I believe you previously set a question which led to me reading up on the EX172.

Thank you Paul - I never left, just got "left behind" by some of the questions. I know ignorance is bliss but sometimes I wish I knew more :-(

(That's a sad smile by the way).

An easy one for the researchers then

What links a TD, a Bonneville, and an Austin , goes 1466 to 948 , and from A to B to X in reverse order and why should it be right or, for that matter, left? The answer is a single entity in case you wonder. :broon:

Back on form too

Need to read the question twice before you begin to understand the question

Name the MG link to one of the people in this photo from 1923?

BTW this is question 197, so just three more to the bicentenary celebrations of the current incarnation, the MG T-Bar Quiz. The total number of questions now posted is 529 :yesnod:
