Roland's discussion of this car started while I was
in transit between Mountain View and Palo Alto, so to
speak, so I missed the beginning. However, even
though I'm no longer writing from abingdon, I still
have my mania for MGs (not to mention a pair of Bs).
I presume this is an open car?
Where did you see the vehicle, and would you be
willing to play the tape for a Bay Area enthusiast,
Roland? I've got enough books to be able to figure
out what it is. It's sounding more like an N-series
Magnette than a prewar Midget, because of the folding
screen and hinged boot -- the YA Tourer of the early
Fifties had a boot like you describe, but a fixed
windscreen.
Between the pair of us, we should be able to solve
this mystery!
