It was apparently made for one of the MGR directors. Has all the bells and whistles, including passenger seat height adjuster.

Myself and Paul sonic zs were discussing this on Monday I think it is the same car they used in the book as the description of the car is exact to this 75

Possibly a little bit of MGR history then..

Edit. Just had a proper look at the service book, and the original reg number was H1 ROV, 1st service by MGR Group Press Garage. Don't know if that means anything.

So could it be the NEC show car - see pages 148 & 149 of James Taylors 'The Complete Story' book ???

Out of interest Phil, does it have a black leather gearshift grip ?
