MG T-Bar Quiz

Is it not a safety feature in that it covers up the hood catches to protect pedestrians from being injured by them. I think I have read that it is mandatory to have the tonneau on in Germany when the roof is folded down.

The MGF Owner's Handbook states;

WARNING !
Do not drive with the hood lowered
unless the hood cover is fitted - the
hood cover is designed to protect
occupants against accidental injury
from hood folding mechanism.


Whilst on the subject of folding the hood down, the handbook also states;


IMPORTANT
ALWAYS unzip the rear screen if the hood
is to be lowered for longer than 24 hours.

You do hear some say unzip the rear screen every time you fold the hood. I never unzip the rear screen as I never have the hood folded down for more than 24 hours at a time. I do however make sure the screen is supple enough on very cold days or nights and do make sure the screen folds smoothly without any sharp folds.

Have seen people using a piece of foam pipe insulation or the large swimming aid coloured sticks so the screen folds smoothly.

That'll be PDQ who wins this one then!

It was to protect occupants - especially when decelerating rapidly - from any injury from the hood mechanism.

Well done everyone :hugs:

John

Thank you John.

Right then tell me the car and the MG link

First we have the


then the


Come on then bright sparks see if you can figure this one out.

Pentax make a Model F, Fuji make a model TF. Probably not your answer, but they do!

:woohoo: Yes John, an interesting concept, but you have completely the wrong answer :slapme:

That would have been too simple

I thought it was too simple! :yesnod:

Would it be the MG SA?


The MG SA or MG 2-litre was a sporting saloon produced by the MG Car company from 1936 to 1939. Launched as the 2 litre, it only later became known as the SA, the car had been originally planned as an advanced performance saloon to rival the likes of SS Cars (later to be known as Jaguar) and even Bentley with all independent suspension and was given the factory code of EX150 and designated the S-type.

I don't doubt that you are correct David, but where do the cameras come in? Or have i missed something as usual?

Brilliant answer :woohoo:

Unfortunately way off the one I'm after. :pinch:

The model numbers of the cameras give EX150. It's wrong but the model numbers are important :yesnod:

Here is a reminder of the question

The car I'm after has something in common with the one the gold and bronze winning triathlon Brownlee brothers posed with.

Well my Spock-logic makes XE1 E50 from the camera model numbers!

Back in 2010/2011, SAIC showed the Roewe E1, a small city electric car, which was later thought to be launched as the MG E1 owing to the fact the proto-type was seen with an MG badge on the steering wheel . However, at the Beijing Auto show this year the Roewe E50 (a production version of the E1) was shown which will go on sale next month in China.
