Think it's a MG J-type midget, as to whether it's genuine or not, my guess would be Yes, but my other guess would be No, no I do think it's a proper one.

I doubt it's a proper one as the rego is 1968; much later than the 30s design. It's quite pretty though and not a daft idea if your donor 60s Midget has rusted to buggery

Just looked up the J-type and, yes, mine looks like a pastiche of one. The big give-away, apart from the reg, is the size of the wheels.

Potentially a JC Midge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JC_Midge still very nice.

Number plate sold to someone who wanted a 'personal plate' then the car re-registered ?

If that were the case it should have received an age related plate

Spotted a very old Vauxhall and Wolsoley tonight. I really fancy owning a pre-war tourer one day

Almost as much fun as Nick Manns Morris 1000, with a turbo'd Rover V8, that was hill-climbing in the 80s

This used to be in The Cars Of The Stars museum in Keswick, I saw it there a couple of times
Sadly the museum closed a few years ago
It's real beast of a machine, based on a shortened Bedford 'Chinese 6' coach chassis

West Bay Dorset about 30 minutes ago so the light was fading .I’m sure the combined expertise of Cycle Chat will be able to identify the model and year .

No front brakes indicates an early 20s model. You'd have to be cautious about stopping distances in the wet.

Sunbeam Talbots, a nice Jag, and sundry other classics.

Not sure what these are but saw them up in Lewis a few years ago.
Just been editing some pics on a rainy windy day.

I think the one with the Union flag on it is a 3.5 litre Bentley, the one with the supercharger fitted
