Ddey65 ◊ 2009-08-29 14:37	MG or Triumph are my first thoughts.
chris40 ◊ 2009-08-29 17:01	MGB, perhaps? Rims look strange.
Ingo ◊ 2009-08-29 19:02	Rather MGB than Triumph.
Sunbar ◊ 2009-08-29 20:41	Not an MGB (or an MGC) and definitely not an MG Midget I believe. Windscreen shape is wrong as the bottom corner of the B pillar is too sharp and not slightly rounded as the MGB. Side light is too far out-board and rounded (not square cornered). The headlight is not recessed on the underside. /vehicle_11137-MG-B-1963.html I have the vague idea that it could possibly be Japanese? -- Last edit: 2009-08-29 20:59:58
car nerd ◊ 2009-08-30 05:34	Either a Midget or a Sprite.
Big Dave ◊ 2009-08-30 05:57	True, could be an Austin Healey Sprite
Sunbar ◊ 2009-08-30 09:44	OK, having looked at the sidelight again I agree its probably a MG Midget and the windscreen match is better. (It looks to have the MG trim down the side.) MG Midget.

garyfrogeye ◊ 2009-11-29 14:30	I strongly believe that it is a Mk1 Midget as it has side strips (as apposed to a MkII Sprite which doesn't) It also looks like it has the early side screens. -- Last edit: 2009-11-29 14:31:03
