I quote from an article in "Enjoying MG" from October 1989:
"BMC needed a small saloon car to market alongside the fairly large
Magnette saloon which by now was in Farina Mk IV style."
And later in the article:
"There were other proposed MG versions of the 1100 that never saw
full scale production, one being an MG badged Vanden Plas Princess
that very soon changed its identity back to Vanden Plas in 1964. "
And:
"A stillborn MG Victoria made an appearance at the Barcelona Motor
Show in 1973 but never went on sale to the public; this was similar
to a stretched Triumph Dolomite and was adorned with MG badges and a
Downtown tuned engine. This was to be the last of the MG badged
saloons until the arrival of the MG Metro in 1982."
There was no mention in the article of any variants of the MG 1300.
Hope this helps.
