Talk:MG WA

"sporting saloon" or "automobile"
It seems somewhat misleading to introduce the MG WA as a "sporting saloon" rather than as an "automobile", given that it was available in three different body-styles, only one of which was a saloon. This is clearly shown in the contemporary brochure which can be seen here.

I propose that the introduction to the article should be amended accordingly. GTHO (talk) 08:43, 6 November 2019 (UTC)


 * In common with many other manufacturers of the period (e.g. Vauxhall) special bodied cars often made in relatively long runs (10 at a time?) were listed/catalogued by the manufacturer but they were not made by them. An MG WA is a sporting saloon also sold as a chassis and in some cases those special bodied vehicles may be ordered through the manufacturers deal network. Salmons and Son's product of the day was regarded as particularly pretty as well as (like all their Tickford products) particularly luxurious and will have been much more expensive than MG's sporting saloon —or any ordinary cheap tourer for say rallying. They are not made by MG. Eddaido (talk) 01:16, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Phone your Adelaide Cadillac dealer and get a friendly enough salesman and ask if he can supply a new car with a division between driver and passenger. Bet he'll get you one but it won't have been made (into a limousine) by GM. Eddaido (talk) 01:19, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
