One for doc - recognize her?

Yes she’s an mg. What do I win ??

That’s pretty but I don’t see the car?

Nothing on the title says cars

 

[Basil]

That's what the luggage rack is for

No argument there - but JP's first post indicated car-related. He didn't put it in the title - I'll see if I can fix that.

If I recall correctly, Leno does already have a Merlin powered car. Don't recall though what the original make is.

I saw an episode about Leno's Merlin-powered car on TV a couple years ago. Apparently it has a substantial portion of actual Rolls parts, not just the Merlin engine. I think he was trying to get permission to mount the actual Rolls radiator/hood ornament but had to apply to the company and document that a majority of the components of the car were made by Rolls...don't remember if the episode I saw gave the final results of that process or not.

The Original first built this had a rolls royce grill until RR made him remove it, also what looked like mustang rear lights
I can remember it being in the Custom Car magazine.
