British Coach Works was one of a few companies making replica early MGs in the early 80s, these basedon Chevettes. That’s already pretty odd by today’s standards, but this one adds flair with an unlikely Schwepps Special Edition. Supposedly, this was part of a sweepstakes (?!).

This is a reasonable replica vs. some of the others out there.
Mmm-hmm…
Interior is pretty cool. What’s that plaque?
Yep, it’s another Schwepps Special Edition badge.
