[275 GTB-4]

I'd be interested to hear what was used as the basis of the car because IIRC the original was based on a shortened and lowered Morris.

Try contacting the MGCC in Canberra (click on the name Canberra on the map) http://www.mgcc.com.au/

The story of "Old Number One" is a bit cloudy because it was built as a trials car for Kimber after he'd started building cars as "Morris Garages" so really couldn't have been "Number One". However it does serve as a reference point. From the picture the efforts of Jim and his friends have certainly captured the car perfectly.

I have no idea what is to become of the car but the MGCC here may be interested in finding out more history ...

Thanks for sharing that with us GTB. I just felt it was a story that needed to be told.

I can feel a few MG stories coming on.

Bring 'em on!
