Why the MG badges ???????????

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!!!
