Not an MG.
Just to clarify, I don't know the base of this car, just what the seller claims it's meant to be.
So that's what I need for the point - what does the seller claim it as?

He has very bad cataracts, so, "Beautiful and exceptionally well made". Well, that was his eBay description.... ;)

I think I remember seeing this a few years ago, the description was unique.

Was it Claimed to be a replica of something?

And it's the right bell!
Yes, amazingly its builder describes it on ebay as an SS100 Jaguar replica!
He must have a vivid imagination and I believe he even wrote that with a straight face..!
Well remembered.
