Good friend Gary Davidson passed away 16 years ago. I have now tracked down his brochure etc collection and am sorting through the stuff. Lots of it....will take awhile. Note release date on 1963 MGB photo.
Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
"Anyone with an intense emotional interest in a subject loses the ability to observe it objectively: You selectively perceive events. You ignore data and facts that disagree with your main philosophy. Even your memory works to fool you, as you selectively retain what you believe in, and subtly mask any memories that might conflict."

Some of us already knew that and the argument should have been over long ago.

Lloyd,
These are quality adverts.
So do we think MG was aiming for the female market share segment or adding some 'sizzle' to the brochures.
In the Midget flyer picture I took my eyes away from the 'cold weather indicator' long enough to notice it is the round wheel arch Midget model being promoted. I do not like a lot of the Leyland 'embellishments' but the round wheel arch I like!
Bruce
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"
