Colin , A question I am often asked is how one can be sure that a diesel is 115 or 131 bhp, as the CDT/CDTi designation is not conclusive . I see you have advised folk to check the logbook and look for an upgrade sticker , but perhaps it would be worth commenting on this badge issue in the guide ?
Nice bit of work so far

Very impressive, a lot of hard work.
How about adding a link to the MG Owners Club and also the X-Part Auto Service website. |

Terrific job, Colin. All credit to you.
I know it's being picky but VARIENTS should be VARIANTS. |

Well spotted, and not to detract from the work put in so far, but that does require correction for the guide to appear properly 'encyclopaedic'. Also, there is an error under the section headed 'Interior Specifications'. The photo of the semi-bucket seats in full black leather is in fact the interior of a Contemporary SE, not a Connoisseur SE. It was only offered on the Facelift cars. I think it's also true to say that the Mark II cars are more normally referred to as 'Facelift' variants, rather than 'Mark 2'. Well done however - this is turning into a scholarly work.

Well done - I wish the (once completed) article had been available to me, when I was looking for a 75. I don't think it would have a jot of difference though, but I dropped lucky.
