Thanks John, our big MG has a coach built body by Salmons Tickford and they
sometimes put a rear bumper on. Always had a front bumper but that was MG
standard. I now have a set of brackets but need the bumper which is probably
special for our body. It has the back lit registration plate which swings
depending on if the boot is open, so the bumper has to have "notch" in it for
lack of a better word to clear this registration plate. The plate also carries
the D lamps for tail/stop/back up light. At the ends of the bumper, the curved
metal was rolled and carried a stainless finishing cap which hid a round lead
anti-vibration weight. Verrry British, I say!! I think it was made by Wilmot
Breeden. It only took us 12 years to restore this monster, so good luck with
yours! and let me know if the bumper becomes surplus and looks like the above
description.
Cheers,
Terry
