Well we saw one or 2 versions of the Hippy MGTDr’s from Pakistan in aprevious post.  Now we got Flames shooting out our backside.  This one screams, not sure what it is trying to say, however.

Swing axle rear suspension means 1968 or earlier, though I can’t make out any details that would date it as the unique 1968 long-axle rear with anti-sway control with 4 lug brake drums. Ball-joint front suspension dates it to 1966 or later. My best guess would be a 1966 or 67 that’s had the rear brake droms swapped out to 4 lug to match the added front disc rotors.KentT2015-03-14 09:36:54
