So Mk3. Interesting about Irish assembly - I can believe it, but the only Elf/Hornet assembly I know of apart from Longbridge was in New Zealand. bmccoy wrote Yes it would be a Mk III. Booth Poole in Dublin assembled Wolseley, Riley and MG cars for the Irish market up to the early 1970s. The list price of the Hornet in 1968 was £799 including duo tone paint and leather interior (which this car retains though in poor condition). ... etc as discussed on main film page.
