Anyone seen these before?

BMW 700 looks close to a Type 3 notch!

imo doesn't look anything like. reminds me of a Renault more than anything.

however i do find the rear end of the MG mgb striking resemblance to early notchback rear end.

Every time I see a Morris Minor from the rear, I keep thinking of a Volkswagen.

A common fitting, dub lights on a morrie, they were a close to perfect fit and San easy way to get indicators

totally agree MY68VW - every time I jump in the hillclimb car it reminds me of my old type 3... thats until the v8 breaths into life.

We get MGC at work sometimes, and with the Rover 3.5 V8, they are quite a sporty car.

Hell yes the BMW looks like a Type 3.... more so than the MGB to my eyes!!!
