I was flipping through an old Moss Motoring issue from summer '93 and came
across a trivia quiz. There was stuff in it not at all MG related, so I
just snipped most out and kept a few interesting (at least to me...) ones.
Answers are at the bottom. No cheating.
1. In what model year were the most MG's sold in the U.S.? How many?
2. What do most MG wire wheel knock-offs say on them?
3. How many distinct and different engines were used in the MG body
between 1962 and 1979?
4. What is the worlds largest car club?
5. In what year did bitter rivals MG and Tr**mph find themselves under the
same corporate banner?
6. What do the letters "MG" stand for?
7. The first horseless carraiges in England had to be, by law, proceeded by
what?
8. Who is the real "Prince of Darkness"?
9. (You better know this one...) Why do the British drink wam beer?
10. On what occasion did the Rolls-Royce monogram change from red to black?
11. What large accessories firm is named after an English marque?
