If british-cars traffic doesn't pick up a bit I'm gonna be reduced to
reading my on ramblings.
Some of you old timers may recall a question I posted a year or so ago
about a car used in a Masterpiece Theatre series. The car was obviously
an early MG but I couldn't identify the year or model. Well, if you
have access to a copy of the August issue of BRITISH CAR magazine,
there's a picture of one of these MGs on the cover. The new MG RV8 is
also on the cover, if any of you haven't seen a picture of one yet.
Getting back to the early MG, according to the article it's a 1932
M-Type and was the first of the midgets. I suppose that's what the M
stands for. Since there can't be too many restored examples of this
model painted blue, I strongly suspect it's the same car used in the
series, though the article made no mention of it. The only thing that
would make me doubt this is that I thought the car in the series had a
license number with MG in. The number plates on the car in BRITISH CAR
is RLG479. It's doesn't seem likely that the plates would have been
changed just for the filming. More likely my memory is just off.
