Do you really check each car before you post it?

Do you really check each car before you post it?

You're telling me it's been posted already?
I check each one very thoroughly and if it has been posted under a name anything like the one I have it will show up.
I do find quite often that the same car has more than 1 name hence re-posts will always occur.

If I didn't check my posts first then there would be re-postings galore, and I think you will find that most of mine are not re-posts, although the odd one does occasionally slip through the net, as it does for many others too.

I can't find any puzzle that has a name anything like the one I have for this puzzle though.  Can you PM me with the name you say it's posted under already and I'll check it out?

This looks like one of Rover's prototypes for the cat that became the MG F.

You're on the right track but it wasn't done by Rover themselves.
Who was it and what is it called?

It was done by (the confusingly-named) MGA Developments was it?

Can't  find any connection with MGA Developments, no.

OK, in which case this might be the PR2 MG F prototype, based on the chassis of a Reliant Scimitar SS1, which looks very similar to another MG prototype made by Motor Panels.

Yes!
You got there in the end!
