Byers MG?

Wendax · « **Reply #8 on:** September 09, 2015, 04:32:01 AM »

MG, but not the Byers one

Not from the States, right?

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2015, 04:57:41 AM »

If I recall it correctly, it was from the States. I'll have a second look tonight.

It looks a bit like one of the Allied Fiber-Glass shells. Any connection?

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** September 09, 2015, 05:34:29 AM »

Not that I know of

nicanary · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2015, 12:20:43 PM »

It looks so much like a Motto body, and has hints of a Siata. Is there any connection to Ernie McAfee ?

oko94 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 09, 2015, 12:40:33 PM »

Any Inskip connection ?

1955 MG Hawk Special Roadster.

It's there on the first page of Google - I've no idea why I didn't look!

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** September 10, 2015, 06:11:45 AM »

Correct! One more point for you.

Correct! One more point for you.

Your photo doesn't show the portholes in the front flank - it looks just like a Vignale Ferrari 225.

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** September 10, 2015, 07:11:55 AM »

I didn't alter that. The portholes must be a later addition.
