I wouldn't dare I merely assume you are the font of all knowledge - a sort of MG Delphi if you catch my drift and thus know all the answers. You set it up, you know it all (no I did not call you a knowitall) I know my place

Right – clue time!! Links are to do with I.C.E and I don’t mean I-C.E.

mg made the Ammo ?

Well sombody did have an input or, to be more prosaic - output!!

Find the above and the MG Link in 'more ways than one' will become clear. What they brought with them gave MG an unusual 'twist' not an imperial one.

Their I.C.E. was around a long before the transistor.

I think my question was too multi cultural!!

Paul, with your approval I feel this should be set aside and you set another one otherwise we will lose interest.

Machine Gun Kelly and the Red Baron never had such unpopularity and as for for a ruby substitute - well no wonder our sheep sheerer thought cars the future!!

too multi cultural

OK Mr Forgetful let's save this question for another time.

This seams like a good time to take a quick look at the MG T-Bar Quiz starting grid



Special mention goes to MG mad, mogatrons and paulsmgf who are all new to the MG Quiz but have between them taken almost half the points in the new thread.

Their names now join all the others in the MG Quiz Hall of Fame which I will update monthly from now on.






So, for the second time , here is question 14;

1) State the two locations (on the engine) where you could find the engine number, a diagram or photo illustrating these would be nice

2) What can you tell me about a car with an engine number of 18K 4K P25 XXXXXX where X represents a numerical digit.

Good luck

Well, there is the sticker on the cambelt cover, and the engine number is also stamped/printed into the block on the exhaust side by the flywheel. I think there is also an engine number on the ladder, but that could be my memory tricking me and it's only a matched number.

18K is 1.8 K series, 4(K) is 4 valve VVC, P25 means 160 VVC, originally fitted with manual gearbox and no aircon.

I had to cheat a little bit for the last bit, but more or less remembered the rest...

well done Andrew, that is spot on.

What is this talk of cheating????

Looking up information is research not cheating.

If you want to learn more about the meaning of the Engine or VIN numbers take a look at this T-Bar thread ~ MGF/TF QI Facts

OK then, next question:

Which was the first MG to utilise fully independent suspension, and what else is interesting about it?
