Nope.  More interesting than that.

If it's all real, it would be an early MGA Twin Cam.  Doors have tonneau 
cover pegs and single wing retainter nuts for the side curtains, no center 
latch on the windscreen, all correct for the 1500 body style.  Tough to 
tell about the missing tonneau cover front pegs.  Fabric covered dash would 
be correct for the Twin Cam.  The tan interior trim is not correct for the 
1500, but of course it's been restored to "modern" taste (or not quite sure 
if early Twin Cam ever had tan interior trim).  Modern non-period 
radio?  Extra indicator light in the dash above the turn signal switch?

The indicator light above the turn signal switch is in the correct 
position for a Mk-II.  Maybe a 1500 w/a Mk-II dash?  Now how much more 
information about the car can we squeeze from that little picture :-)
