Beg to differ John. The MGA looks very little like a Turner, especially
from the rear. The taillights are vertical and form the trailing edge
of the rear wings. No tear drop lines on a Turner.
By the way, there is a 61 Turner Climax garaged three house down from
me. Great little car, though very spartan. The owner has had it since
the 60's and raced it through out western Canada. It and he are now
retired from active competition but it still sees regular use as a
sunny day car.
Cheers
Don
