When production finished in October? 1969 these cars weren't selling very well, you could still purchase one brand new in 1970 on a H plate , these MGs shared the same rear lights as the riley 4/72 , the wolseley 16/60 ,and the morris Oxford remained in production well into 1971 the last ones on a J plate , these farina bodied cars were everywhere in the 1970s , I miss seeing them , lovely car , thanks for showing me .
