    Looks like it could easily be made into a convertable - a modern day oversized MGB...

    It's like a modern MGB with bits of fashionable car like Nissan Juke...

    PS the car's wheels must be big enough, looking at the photo at the top where you can only view them one by one...

    Although it's described as a two door car, it seems to have four doors with the rear two opening backwards.

    They can be seen open in the mostly monochrome picture, which also shows the rear tailgate open in a very TCVish way.

    Does the show car only have two doors?

    Or maybe zero working ones?

    Apparently the rear wheel arches are based on the MGA, parts of the interior from on the MG TC and most of the rest on the MGB

    There's a rear door there... with hidden handles like on an Alfa Romeo?

    mind you, this show car only has indications of front door handles...

    Now I see that the rear "Coke bottle" is MGA, not Mk3 Cortina...

    We have seen pictures with the doors open now and it does indeed have 2 double doors!

    I suspect the rear doors can only be opened if the front ones are already open and the handle to open the rear part is inside...
