Whoever restored it did not do a good job so when I bought it I caught a cold as I thought it had been done by B&G who do a first class job. The second photo is when I owned the car and I think it is on a Targa Rusticana rally in 1992/3. If you need the actual rally and the result I can look it up. I have some good photos from historic Monte Carlo Challenges if you would like them".  Regards, Alexandra On 1/26/2014, Graham Reeves in the UK wrote: "That's one of my old mgs. It's an ex-works car with a metric speedo and a long range tank. Red/white roof is the correct color. but it should have a front bumper on fitted with matching fog/spot lamps and a rear luggage grid. I think I remember the pedals were slightly different too".

The device on the n/s front bumper is an Icelert which detected when ambient below 0 degrees. It was sent to us by the manufacturer to try but we did not use it on the rally car 151 ABL".

Currently there is ZERO evidence this car was formally entered in either rally, so the statement "Race or Pace or Mobile Spares car" seems more appropriate (as this was customary at the time). See
