“Turn Coat”
RHD imported from England to the US in 2010, I believe. Car has very little rust, only surface. Seems to be original. Nicknamed "Turn Coat" because it left the UK for the United States. The registration number (plates) read PBP500M. If anyone can come up with a nickname from the plates, I would appreciate it. I plan on driving the car at least once per week.

So cute! Is it very similar to the MG 1300?

Yes, they are based on the ADO16 body from BLMC. This version was sent
to the Vanden Plas plant and made into a mini limo. It has leather
seats, tray tables for the rear passengers and a large front grill similar to a Rolls Royce. I have been told that the rear tail lights are
the same as the MG / Austin America, but I am still learning.

I purchased it from someone in Knoxville, Tn. The car was imported from England in 2010. it was from an area south of London, near the coast.
