Morris Minor Owners Club

Well, I'm guessing Kennat's is a Scimitar, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do the exact model.

Mine, well its not mine actually, is another Hudson. ( Must not get typecast here!). A 1938 model with coachbuilt body by Coachcraft Ltd. It was in Brightwells classic car auction before Christmas. I liked the contrast between the American pointed snout and the elegant English body, but too many cars and too little time etc etc. I don't think it sold.

Not the best picture in the world but the grill might give it away.
My other car and the reason a wide drive is needed?

Yes scimitar gtc,2.8 one of only approx 300 left on the road in uk.At the last count there was only 4 on the road over the channel,where they bring stupid prices..(9.000+) Guess where mine is going when I decide to sell

Nutts' car is a Marlin kit car and it could have an 1800cc MGB engine fitted.

Now what about this car I saw at the Goodwood Revival a couple of years ago. a very rare sight.[frame][/frame]

Rochdale Olympic?

No I'm afraid not.

Anyone need a clue?

Is it an MGB special .It looks like an MGB door and the front and rear wings and the line of the windscreen scuttle and bonnet have a look of a B the rear lamps look familiar but not MG, as to who built or raced it i dont know

MGB GT special by Jaques Coune?

Your are correct beero. It is an MGB Berlinette.

A limited edition, coach built derivative of the MGB built in Belgium by Jacques Coune in and around 1963.

I think the photo I posted first shows the car at its best angle (rear three quarters). The front view
below is not so well proportioned with the over sized windscreen.

You're not wrong, it looks a bit odd from the front, and the sidelight/indicators are the wrong way round to the way the factory cars were.

I suspose it looks odd because it doesn't have the front bumpers that we're used to seeing on the MGBGT
