Hi Sam, maybe there is more information from England about the early M?
The M-Type was only sold to Norway in February 1993. The car was in England. The two pictures are from the restoration that was started and were taken between 1993 and 1999.
Hello Mike, yes. When the M-Type came to Noway from England, it looked like this. Many parts were packed in boxes. The registration is still recognizable. Source: 2004_2 MG MAGASINET
