bd64kcmo wrote the car is listed as a 1959 MG-A. The 1500 production run was 1956-1959, and you could not tell the difference in this venue. But the car here is not a 1959 MGA. It is a 1962 MGA 1600 MkII with a non-MkII grille, as well as other irregularities, such as the absence of "1600 MkII" badges at the side of the cowl, and incorrect door trim, which is gray. That was seen only on some earlier blue colored cars, but not the MkII. The reason I say this is the tail lights, unique to the MkII production run, are on this car. So unless the body were swapped onto a 1959 chassis, with running gear, I cannot see what else it could be, despite the Recommend changing the year model.

There should also be at least two more stars there as the leach "character" drove the car into the garage at the beginning. The car appeared numerous times as the recurring theme of the video's message, "the man who has everything".


If you're definite about 62 Mk2, that's fine by me. Mongrels are always messy.

These two frames confirm it's a 1600 Mk II. Although the main pic doesn't show it clearly, the front grille is the correct one.

Not sure if they help.
