I con not see you would need more, six would'nt be needed, three is probably enough but it started with zero clues just a question.

I think anorak is too strong a term to be honest not a lot to choose from.

If this question is still unanswered this evening we may have to consider closing the MG T-Bar Quiz

A little might be in order with this yellow, Oriental styled headlight...

Is the lamp pictured from an MG3?

Aaagh! Just wasted 20 minutes viewing google images to find clue posted! Didn't update page before submitting my answer.

Well done, Alan, you've saved the future of the Quiz! You won't have found the images above on Google, I took them on Sunday evening at the Dubai dealership.

Over to you!

What can anyone tell us about this car.

Well done Alan,

Does this mean Alan is officially an anorak

Oooo nice question Alan, I don't think I've ever come across that car before, very interesting front end

Alan's not an anorak unless he was lying about spending 20 minutes googling it, whereas you knew it without resorting to Google!

Oh no, guilty as charged.

Now I have an anorack but know nothing so does that make me a donkey jacket!! (Please note that the swear filter will not let me use A S S as in one word)

ADO 51 It was alleged to have been the Austin-Healey Mk3000IV prototype, hence the grill, which was custom made it was duplicated as a twin (ADO52) that became the MGC

In the now quite dim recesses of my mind (apart from the voices in my head) someting says the AH3000 Mk IV was a widened 3000 with a RR 4 litre as was in the VP Princess. The RR 4 litre was a light alloy engine not that much heavier than the original 3 litre Austin and having a 6" wider track it handled and cornered quite well. The added power was also nice. Far better that the MGC ended up with. Unfortunately they couldn't get it into production as BMC was merging with Jaguar by that time and it would have been a competitor.

Have to fly now as I have Bowels - sorry bowls to go to. Will leave for others to flesh out as I cannot research any longer.
