This
car has an interesting background as it was originally
destined for the Japanese market but was snatched
from the docks at the port before making it onto
the boat. British Motor Heritage has confirmed that
back in November 1995 this car was built as Woodcote |
| Green
2165 as a Japanese specification car but was returned
to the MG factory. The car was stripped down, had
a full respray in Oxford Blue and was converted
to a UK specification car with no aircon and none
of the other Japan spec items before being released
back into the UK market in May 1998. An AA vehicle
data check has confirmed that there was no export
licence for this car to go overseas. |
