Wendax · September 09, 2015, 04:32:01 AM

MG, but not the Byers one

Paul Jaray · September 09, 2015, 04:38:05 AM

Not from the States, right?

Wendax · September 09, 2015, 04:57:41 AM

If I recall it correctly, it was from the States. I'll have a second look tonight.

It looks a bit like one of the Allied Fiber-Glass shells. Any connection?

Wendax · September 09, 2015, 05:34:29 AM

Not that I know of

nicanary · September 09, 2015, 12:20:43 PM

It looks so much like a Motto body, and has hints of a Siata. Is there any connection to Ernie McAfee ?

oko94 · September 09, 2015, 12:40:33 PM

Any Inskip connection ?

1955 MG Hawk Special Roadster.

It's there on the first page of Google - I've no idea why I didn't look!

Wendax · September 10, 2015, 06:11:45 AM

Correct! One more point for you.

Your photo doesn't show the portholes in the front flank - it looks just like a Vignale Ferrari 225.

Wendax · September 10, 2015, 07:11:55 AM

I didn't alter that. The portholes must be a later addition.
