Roger Garnett response:
Sure can- the term referrs to the fact that they all use the same basic body
pan, suspension, and running gear. I might grant an exception for the '75-79
cars, as molested by B(FS)L- they can be reffered to as Midge-fires, or
Spit-gets, or possibly just "an abomination", depengine on your view
So I say "I'll call it a Spridget" - though maybe the 75-79 are step children
of an incestuous British Leyland relationship (though I guess MG was tne victim
and not the vicitmizer).
