[quote NAOELZ72D34JEY4]How fortunate you were, Monaro 23D amd BLU125 to start with MGs![/quote] Lucky indeed, however at the time my uncle had a TC and my older cousins were also driving MG's so when l started looking for an MG my parents were on board with the idea. Here is the car as purchased still with its original registration number but with a 1600 MkII grille which l eventually swapped for an original. Plus the obligatory P plates! It was a great little car which served me well for a few years.
