The car was built as a right-hand drive export model, manufactured on 13th June 1950 at the Abingdon works. The car was exported to Kenya in the 1950's, one of ten that year. The car is understood to have spent most of its early life in various East and South African countries. The MG was then re-imported into the UK in the 1986. Pauline Forward
