Hear the story of how Ray paid £550 for the car and how his friends thought he was mad having given up his MGB GT but with his family growing Ray needed something larger, but did he make the right choice?

    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 .
