Just can't quite get the plate - something like Fxx 522?? |

I tried my best to capture the plate more clearly, but it ended up looking fuzzy no matter what![[Image: mg1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/mg1.jpg) ![[Image: mg2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/mg2.jpg) Maybe FXY ? |

Thanks for trying. I think the plate is F with some permutation of T, V, X, Y. But the only hit I found was We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided MG TD/TF 1952 Registration number: FTY 522 Body type: Sports Colour: Cream Date of first registration: December 1952 ... and ours is definitely not a TD. Gazing at pictures in a picture book and thinking pre-WW2 with tall thin wheels, a folded flat screen (full screen or twin aeros??), flowing wings, possibly a bit of space behind driver - perhaps TA, TB, maybe PB. Racier things like Magnas seem to be shorter and have cycle wings. |

.... or might just be a normal TC. |

FYY, London, 1/40 to 2/40. TA. |

FYY is difficult for early 1940 dates. Glass's has TA stopping April 39, replaced by TB which suspended production in Sept 39 (which explains production of only 379). S&G shows a picture of the more formal TB DHC, but mentions alternative open 2-seater. So if plate is FYY, late registered 1939 TB seems best idea. Too blurry to attempt looking for TA/TB/TC differences which were small details only, although I guess this does not have the TA windscreen mount where the trimline came further down bodyside. However I'm not confident with these MGs, relying on what I think I see in a few assorted photos, not confirmed info. |
