Well I have had a few Triumphs and Austin Healey's, and have always been asked, What kind of MG is that? So I guess it all kind of makes sense (??).

Jonas, I think they started making the boot lid out of steel pretty early on, but my 67 BGT still had an aluminum bonnet.  I think they made them that way for a number of years, but the production variations in early cars are always interesting, early TR4s with frames widened by bolt on extensions, etc.
