                The owners initials? - seeing as the number plate is MG too?



                The paint on this Roadster looks fabulous - I'd love to know who did it, and what they charge, as I would like to paint my Cabrio this year.

                Anyone know the painter?

                  If you want to know more about a YKC Sierra Based Roadster there is more info here or there a reprint of an article in Which Kit from 1995 and much more.

                    I see the car is no longer on Ebay max bid was £4295. The reply to the question about the MG badge probably sums up the owner and the price went up!!!

                        Looks like he has bid himself the asking price this time so no doubt he will be re listing it.
