I'm currently making a new convertable top for a 1930 MG M. While fitting it for adjustments, the owner opened the cowl to show me the engine and his manifold looked just like this one that I remember. The car is 80 miles from me and I do not know the owners email. Next time I go there, I will take along a picture from this thread for comparison.

The M-Type manifold is an L-shaped affair. It's a shared horizontal pipe with external fins, exiting downward into the exhaust pipe.
