Yes, exactly. That's why I think it's a MGB. Although, I've seen a "restored" MGC with an MGB bonnet because the Motor Heritage Trust didn't make replacement MGC bonnets. On 9/8/2014 5:36 PM, Bob W-PDML wrote: The MG C also has a power bulge on the bonnet. On 8 Sep 2014, at 22:24, "John" w

Those MGs are lovely. Is the rubber-bumper MG B really over 50 years old? I thought they started putting those horrible bumpers on in the 70s (nearly 50 years already, where does it go?) B > On 8 Sep 2014, at 19:59, "Alan C" wrote: > > Last Sat. there was a kind of Spring Fair in Phalaborwa
