MG does stand for Morris Garages (and definitely not Modern Gentleman) hence the confusion.
Gomsel
Okay, agree.

All I am saying is that there was never a Morris Magnette MK IV . There was an MG Magnette MK IV and there was the Morris Oxford S5 and S6 with this body. See how many Morris Magnettes we have on imcdb - http://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&yearFrom=&yearTo=&makeMatch=- 2&make=morris&modelMatch=1&model=magnette&modelInclModel=on&modelInclChassis=on&origin=- &madein=&madefor=&role= . Diddley squat. Not a sausage. Zilch. Absolutely none. A big fat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKsgKCAzYRY .

Ah, and more Morris, but imported (not local made)

Di Tella Magnette in the Morris Magnette MK IV.
The link should be MG Magnette (not Morris - the only Morris version was the Oxford which had different grilles).
Gomsel
Agree. According with CocheArgentino, the early 1500 was based in the Riley 4/68 (Pininfarina design) and the Di Tella Magnette in the Morris Magnette MK IV.

Pity, but none Siam-made Thornycroft Trusty in the expo.

SIAM di Tella 1500 has nice comparison of Riley style front (grille, wrap-round trim) against MG (different grille, no wrap-round), both used exactly as UK (both fronts were unchanged between ADO9 and ADO38) apart from grille badges and local bumper styles. Red pick-up looks likely to have Riley front (the only UK version with wrap-round) and has the pointy tail-lights of ADO9 (Austin/Morris/Wolseley) which was carried through to ADO38 Austin/Morris estates only. And it's always good to see lots of Avengers - apart from the VW changes and boyracer wheels, all trim detail looks exactly like UK sequences.

Have one Lotus Seven, made by Lotus Argentina.
The red it's a Target, a local-made copy. The owner of the red car it's from my city.
The Lotus in the picture, have the engine for the Fiat 1600.
PS: thanks to all for the nice comments.
