British Motor Museum, Gaydon

Recordbreakers EX135 (1938) and EX179 (1954) top row, and EX181 (1957) lower centre

The MGF-based EX255 (1998) which unfortunately ran out of time and money before it could run in anger

The cut-away MGB GT, many interesting features not normally visible

A British Telecom Morris 1000 van of the 70s, one of the first vehicles I drove. In the 60s they had rubber front wings! It would originally have had aluminium ladders, not sure why it has these wooden-looking ones, which I would have thought would have been harder to get hold of than the original.

1989 DR2 (PR5) prototype. Built on a TVR chassis with TVR Rover V8 engine, significantly bigger than an MG sports car before. Aimed at the American market, Rover's problems there meant it was dropped and the smaller MGF replaced it in right-hand form only.

Rather Jaguar-esque, particularly at the rear

MG SV, only a handful produced before the demise of MG Rover
