Anyone now anything about this MG?

[Guest]

I saw this MG at the MG Vintage Races at Hallett Raceway (near Tulsa) last summer. It had a sign next to it stating that it was the Flash Gordon MG. Anyone know anything about it?

I know that I don't like it.

(I'm feeling helpful today)

Yeucccch!!!

I hope there isn't a real MG hiding under there weeping with embarassment.

Someone spent a lot of time to make that ugly.

Was that the Flush Gordon MG?

 

[drooartz]

My, that's something. Could be a Midget or MGB under there somewhere. I guess there's something for everyone...

I was thinking there is a TD under there.

 

[bugimike]

I was thinking TD or TF also! Interesting...fuel fillers in the FRONT fenders? And you've gotta love that grill!!

Aha, found it...

It's an MG "Savoy" based on an MGA

Put me down on the "crazy" side of "some people"!! What would possess you to do that to the looks of a lovely MGA?

I don't know what the "artist" was thinking and beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that is an ugly car. At the MG Vintage races there wasn't any information on the car except that it was called the Flash Gordon MG. I was not impressed with the look of it but I thought that maybe it was a styling exercise by MG but I had a hard time believing that MG built it.

Thanks for finding the info.

He probably spent alot more than that to build it. It will probably bomb at BJ.
