John Bates writes: "MG VA 1279 was produced in February 1938 and exported to Switzerland. It was exhibited at that year's Geneva Motor Show as a 'show chassis' with no body fitted. A VA was fitted with a body by Keller, the Swiss dealer and bodybuilder and I have a photograph of it. A convertible VA took part in Swiss time trials in a team of three MGs in 19338/39 and won the team prize. The other MGs were a K3 and an NA. I have seen a photograph of the three cars at the finish. Were these VAs one and the same car? Does a photograph exist of the VA show chassis at the Motor Show in Geneva? MG factory records show only five VAs exported to Switzerland, four saloons and the show chassis car. I have owned this car since 1963 and would love to solve this mystery."

John, one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field is Bas 'VA' de Voogd, so we will check with him.
