No, the relation between the builder and MG is more straightforward.

He worked at MG ?

Yes !

Someone in a senior job?

oko94 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 11, 2018, 04:01:04 PM »

When the puzzle car was built he a had a more than decent job at MG but I wouldn't call it a senior job.

Gerry Palmer perhaps?

Not him.

This car can be found online if you know where to look.

Dick Jacobs?

oko94 · « **Reply #35 on:** October 09, 2018, 04:12:37 AM »

No, but Dick Jacobs and the builder of the puzzle car are both mentioned in at least one online, historical article about MG.

To clarify this point, did the builder of this car hold a position working within MG (as opposed to being employed as a works driver)?

oko94 · « **Reply #42 on:** October 09, 2018, 01:46:46 PM »

Indeed he was working within MG. He wasn't a race driver.

Syd Enever?

oko94 · « **Reply #44 on:** October 09, 2018, 02:40:43 PM »

No, less known, although the puzzle car builder is often mentioned in articles dealing with Syd Enever.

Terry Mitchell, then?

oko94 · « **Reply #46 on:** October 09, 2018, 05:16:39 PM »

Yes ! This is a special built by Terry Mitchell and nicknamed "Mongrel". Custom tubular steel frame. Morris Ten engine. Morris Minor front suspension with custom coil springs and bottom wishbones. Custom rear suspension with De Dion tube. Vauxhall 12 differential. Morris Minor brakes.

One point for you obviously.

That was a good one, thanks!

That's not the puzzle car but another special built by Terry Mitchell, this time with MG engine and front suspension.
