Wood & Picket Info

That is not a Wood and Pickett. Looking at the number plate I would guess that the car is from Malaysia, probably built by the gent standing next to it.

Oke not an W&P conversion but it shure looks like one and maybe is still around somewhere ?

Margrave in a London showroom, 1980

What a great photo from the passenger seat of a GT outside the Berkeley Square showroom.

Thought the mini on the right could have been 'Magic' Alex Marda’s Innocenti saloon but can see this car has a rear gutter chop.

Was this a one off?

[Peter Laidler]

University motors did some of those oblong headlight conversions and odd looking rear light conversions to their stocks of unsold MGC's and GT's My friend Keith had one in VW signal orange. A dire colour, even in the 70's

I was thinking about the rear lights, initially I thought they might be from the Lancia Flavia. Then I had a light bulb moment and have realised that they have grafted the rear lights and wing top shape off of the Vanden Plas 4-Litre.
