      Felix asks about blown MGs:

The last _supercharged_ MG must have been the K3 or something,
definitinely pre-war (1939-45 war, by the way; this expression
probably means something different to others). T-types were
also supercharged, though not, I think from Abingdon. Roger
should be able to answer this.

There has been a spate of recent blown MGs, but these have all been
badge-engineered Austins:

MG Metro 1300 Turbo, using a pressurised (ie, blow-through) SU
MG Montego and Maestro 2.0i Turbo, both _extremely_ fast and
probably rather dangerous.

None of these still exist, but the new MG yet to come is rumoured
to have a supercharged version.

Paul.
