Pearoast, but an interesting one at that! I posted a couple of years back here: LinkyAmazing work considering it was created on a shoe string budget...

There's a lot of ferrari 275 gtb influence there.

Imagine how well they would have sold with a V8 or anything with a bit of oomph Reminds me of a DB4/5 at some angles.

Quite nice but I prefer the looks of the GT.

Its certainly an interesting car and it does look more 'Italian' than other MG's but Quite nice but I prefer the looks of the GT. I've got to agree with this (obvious bias aside). I think perhaps with more development, the Berlinette could have looked amazing, but it has a few awkward angles to me I suppose the time, money and will wasn't there after the GT appeared

Another agreeing that the GT looks better.

It's the front screen that just does not fit in well with the design. Was the screen from some French or Italian car at the time or have I just dream't that?
I like that backend more than the GT (and I certainly am biased), if that was given something more than the Boat anchor it would have been sublime.

Yeah it's the windscreen that's exceeds the window line and the smal rear screen that gives it a slightly odd appearance. But overall, I love that roof line and rear end! Issigonis wasn't wrong with his excuse of it being "too italian"

That's certainly got some pretty features, very Ferrari-esque. As said the screen is a bit awkward.

The little blue one is nice, agreed it looks like a bit of cheap ripoff 250/275, and agreed the GT looks better, but it's still nice. The silver thing with 15 painted on the door, that's a different car (C-pillar, rear screen) and is pretty ugly. Maybe a prototype or something but it's certainly not got the lines
