Indeed it is.
That's odd, though, you've reposted my actual puzzle picture... Had you saved it for some reason?

It does contain MG parts, yes, so it's probably accurate to say it's MG-based.

California Ace?

It wasn't referred to by that name on the site where I found it, but it is an Ace replica and it was built in California!
So I'll lock it for you to be a bit more specific.
I've had a look at some pictures of the Cal Ace kit; it might be one of those but I'm not really sure. All the details of this computer are on my computer at work so I'll only be able to check it out on Tuesday.

Yes, it is a Cal Ace described as an "AC Ace Bristol Replica" so it's 1 point for Hiawatha.
Unfortunately it's another re-post so has now been merged.
