Thanks to all who responded to my query on determining model year. To
summerize, the big problem is that the car was made in 9/73 and I wanted
to confirm if the model year was '74 (model year different from calendar year).
The catch was that I have teardrop bumperettes. The mystery was solved by
Roger who looked up my serial numbers and concluded...

no luck-just the 4 speed.

btw...I found the discussion 'Nother B Question very interesting. This is
the exact project I'm starting now. Looks like I'll be replacing the floors,
rockers (interior and exterior) and the castle rails. I've ordered Lindsey
Porter's book on MG: Purchase & DIY Restoration through wordplay which
can be reached at (URL: http://www.wordplay.com).
Any advice on this project greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
