Maybe......

....................judging by how MG Rover were still thoughtfully providing cassette tape storage in the glovebox lid of our 06 reg TF, which came fitted with a CD player (!!..... WTF! :oops: :oops: ) , I think it is the very useful secure coin storage, designed specifially for the 1953 half-crown, as fitted to the 2005 MG ZS.

.......I haven't a clue actually. :-?

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

If this were QI you'd be getting points for being interesting, just not right.

Thank you. I think....
Is it a florin holder from a 1956 Magnette?

MG mad. Any chance of a clue or a little more of the object in question?

Sorry I had been thinking another clue would be a good idea, but got caught up marking exams this morning.

Ignore the glasses, they were just a poke at old people complaining about small images ;)

CLUE: the component in the image is factory fitted to some post 1995 MGs only, and debuted in the MGF.

yeah sorry not EPAS related... this component was also fitted in a few Rovers of the era, but the MGF was the first to use it.

Close, but no cigar...

I should say, only some MGFs had/have this fitted.
