MGE??

[Coastalman]

Someone asked me a question tonight about MGs that I could not answer. Does anyone know whey the letter E was not used on the T series MGs. There was a MGTC, a MGTD and a MGTF, but no E that I know about. Is there an answer somewhere?

I think that it was because Alvis had trademarked the TE designation.

I've heard it was because "TE" was too easy to make fun of, among many other rumors. Also remember that E was typically used for experimental, racing and record breaking cars, namely the EX series.

Agreed.

I read the were afraid it would sound too much like "Tee Hee".
