What's this, from when - for 1 point?:

The 1960 MG Mini, one of two prototypes.
Crikey, I'd never even heard of it until today and you know the answer already!
Very good...
I guess the license plate helped a lot. ;)
I fear it did. I wouldn't have got it otherwise.
Incidentally, there was talk about a two-seater convertible MG Mini; does anyone know anything about it?
What's the "M-Type" bit of the thread title?
This is the MG M-Type we knew (and owned!):
I usually paint out the registration but I decided not to this time; not sure why - I think just to make it look just like an ordinary British Mini... That'll teach me.
No idea what the "M-Type" means but it's what they seem to call it wherever it's pictured.
I think the other MG Mini Lavrakas is referring to is the ADO34 MG prototype. It still exists and I believe was sold at an auction a couple of years ago. Strangely it hasn't been puzzled here, which is why I haven't included a picture of it now.

It's what the decal says.
Thanks! I did wonder what that said but hadn't got around to blowing up the size of the picture yet!
Apparently the car was to be a sort of cross between a Riley Elf with relatively luxurious interior but minus the little boot and a Mini-Cooper with the 1275S engine.

No, I was wrong, what was auctioned a couple of years ago was EX234, which has been puzzled here.
