Slogram,
BCW’s id plates should be located in the trunk on the cowl (this
is the body piece underneath the windshield).
A few suggestions for identifying a BCW in a photo.
If the car you are looking at has suitcase type hinges on the
hood, it is not a BCW. BCW used a long stainless steel hinge
on the driverside similar to the original TD type hinge.
If it does not have a real spare tire, it is not a BCW.
BCW’s will only have original TD windshield components, tail
lights, and running lights. Take a look at Jerry’s car. Fyi, there
was another kit car company that used the same original MG
parts, but only in its top line model. BCW only used original
parts.
BCW did not use faux wire wheel hubcats, although owners
could have put them on themselves. BCW’s hubcats did have a
BCW on center emblem.
These are just a few key things to look at in any photo to see if it
is a BCW.
If in doubt feel free to contact me.
