Sticking with the MGB for the next question,...





1) Who famously owned this MGB GT

2) Who links this MGB GT to T-Bar

3) What did the person in 2) do?

All three parts need for the point

1) Simon Goldsworthy, Editor of the MG Enthusiast magazine
2) Me, I took the top photo of it at Stoneleigh in the cow sheds one February years ago.
3) I used it on my website at http://www.kewengineering.co.uk/upgrades4mgs/Body/mgb_rubber_bumper_choices.html

That's not the answer you're looking for, is it?

2) Bryan Young
3) He put the new owner in touch with Simon as per this thread.

Sorry Martin as you are aware the MG T-Bar Quiz rule 2c states; Anyone directly connected to a question in the quiz are ineligible to claim a win and must not post the answer spoiling the quiz for other members.

As the first photo was taken by you, then taken by me from your website, you have displayed a blatant disregard for rule 2c. I did expect you would display the common courtesy not to post.

Ignorance of the rules cannot be used as a defence and any further breach of the rules will result in the stipulated 5 point penalty and 1 month ban from the quiz.

I give you two possible answers and you want to ban me for six months... :-)

Ok, who can spot the discrepancy between my photo of the MGB GT in the cowshed that PQD so blatantly nicked (and how I knew it was my photo straight away ;-) ) and the photos in the thread by Bryan Young?

Correct. I hate to see number plates squirled over so I modify them.

The millionth MG produced was a MGB roadster in green with special gold stripe made in October 1975.

The factory donated it as the Grand Prize in the Bi Centennial Rally put on by the New England MG T Register. It was for T series cars only and covered all the capitals of the original 13 colonies of the US. The total mileage was about 2000 miles per car and one car did it in 1776 miles. The car was won by the team of Brad Wladis and George Cookson from Syracuse NY.

:bang: Searched for ages on the net and I can't find a photo of it.
