That's a 70's Ford and doesn't fit anyways :)

Hey Heep, any ideas on 22A?
I don't think the answer is actually anything to do with MG, but actually what could be considered an equivalent.....thoughts?

No idea at all. I think we need Hudson. :D

Yeah, 1A is definitely Bermuda, that's the name of a Willys model.

23A is Hampton

Where us Hudson though.......

He's probably reading this thread right now and laughing at us:p

22A is Magna At least I'm damned sure of it

ok.

4 d -Deal.

11 a -Sport
