I don't think we've had this one before.
What is it, who built it and when was it built?

[barrett]

Up a gear

[geology]

I've seen this as an MG Special on some blog somewhere

[barrett]

yep, based on MG running gear it is

[geology]

ah yes, not an MG Special but a Harry Lester-MG!! from the mid 50's

[barrett]

Yep, it's a Lester-MG. Can you narrow down exactly which one it is and when it was built? LOCKED for you of course

[geology]

thanks for the lock
ok, found it on the well known photo site,
Lester MG T51, doesn't mention date but as i thought mid 50's, i'll start with 1955, which if right would make it a late one.

[barrett]

1955 is correct, which makes it a VERY late one - the very last Lester-MG, in fact!

I was unaware of this particular car until very recently, when I bumped into it and it's owner round the corner from my house! Nice that a unique car like this lives so close by.
