Tyres from UK?

Sorrily, it only remains for me to answer with, 'I don't know'

To go further the solution, much more important parts are British

What other engine might someone put into an MG, I wonder. Is it a Holden engine?

fromwien · « **Reply #22 on:** August 23, 2023, 10:21:43 AM »

Yes, it is

So, it must be Australian. An Elfin?

Yes, Australian, but not Elfin
