Nope. More interesting than that.
If it's all real, it would be an early MGA Twin Cam. Doors have tonneau
cover pegs and single wing retainter nuts for the side curtains, no center
latch on the windscreen, all correct for the 1500 body style. Tough to
tell about the missing tonneau cover front pegs. Fabric covered dash would
be correct for the Twin Cam. The tan interior trim is not correct for the
1500, but of course it's been restored to "modern" taste (or not quite sure
if early Twin Cam ever had tan interior trim). Modern non-period
radio? Extra indicator light in the dash above the turn signal switch?
The indicator light above the turn signal switch is in the correct
position for a Mk-II. Maybe a 1500 w/a Mk-II dash? Now how much more
information about the car can we squeeze from that little picture :-)
