Sorry, I'm one of the last 10 people in California without a digital
camera...or even a regular camera. I'll try to borrow one for pictures.
I do know that the car was purchased new from Carl R. Carlsen's of San
Francisco. The box looks too good to have been done by a previous owner
although the first owner was the Fire Chief of Sausalito and they
usually have lots of spare time and plenty of good quality tools to
hobby with. I imagine someone could figure out how to emboss the MG
octagon.
