Chile had an odd history of building BMC's finest. In 1964 they started fairly normal Mini Mk1 Coopers and a few MG 1100s for a few years, then stopped when government increased regulations for %age of local content. So they developed Plan B - to resume builds with glass-fibre builds for Minis and now the MG 1300, which started in 1969 and lasted for maybe only a couple of years until the new Allende government closed it down. Manufacturing the fibreglass moulding tools was sub-contracted to Peel (on the Isle of Man). As a 2-door this is 69+ 1300. |
