I fear that I am bereft - a simple one, and I know some will remember it in a slightly differing guise but please identify this picture.

Sorry I am not more imaginative but it's late, I'm tired and I didn't expect this - :nonod:

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


YES, we had that one before, about 200 years ago when Paul started the quiz :spank: :pop:

I had been searching for MG crashes involving Kimber, but no luck... had a recollection of this but thought it was a WA, as Kimber had one as his personal car. Oh well.

Current question - that would be AD021, a planned replacement for the Midget developed in 1969. Planned to be mid engined with a range of 4 and 6 cylinder E series engines, the latter making it more of an MGB replacement.

ADO34, one of the prettiest little MG concepts based on ADO15 (Mini).

Edit: To be more specific, that is the Longbridge ADO 34 as opposed to the Abingdon ADO34 that was to be an Austin Healey Sprite.

Oops...sorry for the delay, son's football this morning.

MG is often quoted as referring to Morris Garages.

However, in France, MG is something else in terms of automotive history.

What do the letters MG mean to the French?

There was the French car and tricycle maker Marot-Gardon


Here is a 1905 Quad Cycle by them

Well, I'll be...that wasn't one I had seen but well spotted.

I was thinking of something from around 1917 with only two wheels, and extra kudos if you can find something else with MG from France, but I guess you have it, so next question, please.
