1967 MG 1100 | Woodford, Northamptonshire

The MG 1100 is the twin-carburettor version of BMC's compact ADO16 family saloon, launched in Britain in October 1962. It is liked for a roomy cabin on a small footprint, front-wheel drive and Hydrolastic suspension, which was designed to soften the pitching of the ride. This car is white with a black interior, a clean pairing that reads clearly on camera. Its 1098cc engine sits across the front, driving the front wheels. The upright, tidy body gives it the look of an everyday 1960s British family car. Film and television work set in 1960s Britain suits it, because an ordinary period saloon sits believably in a street scene. Fashion and editorial photographers get strong contrast from white paint against black trim, and at events it makes a display car with period character. It is also a quietly smart choice for a wedding or a personal day out. The car is based in Woodford, Northamptonshire.
