The Repeated Request Again (UPDATE II: design by Mr P. Wharton)
One rainy evening MG-historian Wiard Krook spent browsing our archive of (Un)solved Mysteries. When he came upon the Mystery Body we wrote about in July 2005, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a similar one. And indeed, in his own archive he found a drawing of this MG Special. It’s TA/0730 that has a body created by Charles Ward of the famous Coachbuilding company Park Ward. It’s not exactly the same body as the one in our mystery, but it’s close, very close. Owner Hemmo de Groot has a very interesting website about his MG TA and its origins. (Image courtesy Wiard Krook). (RB)
Update II by Hemmo De Groot (owner of the MGTA): “The drawing is an artist impression of the MG TA Park Ward dhc. It is made in the Park Ward design department by Mr P. Wharton for his colleague Mr. Charles Ward. The drawing is nearly similar to the actual car. The differences lie in the length of the hood and length of the luggage compartment and the disc on the wire wheels was not as the actual car. Symphony, as she is called by Charles Ward, indeed is equipped with 2 smaller backseats which actually is only suitable for small kids. My son could sit there until he was 14 years old. In 1985 I restored the car with a square front MG-grill as this was similar to the initial design. Charles changed that nose to a streamlined cowl in 1946. In 2006 I rebuilt that cowl as it fits better to the round curves of the body.”
UPDATE I by Dick Trenk: "The 2005 Mystery Body car is a four seat dual cowl roadster. It has some styling similarity to the MG model TA/0730 owned by Mr. de Groot but this one-off MG is NOT a four seater dual cowl car. Remember... this mystery car is an artists rendition, not a photo of a real car and it may never have been built."
