British cars were a common sight on Australian roads for 50 years from the 1920s to the early 1970s. During the 1950s British cars outsold all other makes in Australia.

British cars gradually became a less common sight on Australian roads after the British Austin, Austin Healey, Morris, Mini, Jaguar, Daimler, Rover, Riley, Triumph and Wolseley car manufacturer began to sell off the brands and close down factories in the late 1970s-1980s.

The first three MG shots are your stars. I am unfamiliar with the Chinese MG.

Thorny Devil,
I agree with UTMike; the MG's are very nice.

Don’t know how you do it, but love these posts.

Excellent series, Thorny.

I drove a Chinese MG Hybrid SUV in Iceland last fall. It was a nice car & quite comfortable. But the GPS was a bit annoying with the Chinglish instructions - "Please to recalculate."

i agree with you. I like the Spitfire coupe. Rare and attractive.

Love the MGs. You need to make 1 correction though. The F was produced while still owned by BMW. I remember distinctly because I was really hoping they would be exported to the US so I could get one to join my B in the garage. Unfortunately, BMW declined to allow MG to compete in the states against their own new Z3 that had also just been released.

OMG, how I would love a new MG or a Triumph (I had two in the seventies) 😎😎😎

Keep them coming as long as you can. Many of the cars I've not seen anywhere else. As far as this posting, I like the MGs in all the forms they've morphed into. Somehow Triumph just doen't seem to get it. Their designs are a little out of step with their competition. Kind of like they are driving off the edge of the road or have been breathing everyone else's exhaust fumes too long. Sadly the only thing they share with rest of the field, (Wait for It) .......................Lucas electronics.
