Although
Margaret Thatcher was seen in film and photos in a Harvest
Gold MGBGT, many have assumed she owned it. The truth, according
to her authorised biography, is the car was owned by her friend
Miss Joan Hall, the formr MP for Keighley, who drove
her throughout the 1975 Conservative Party leadership election
in February 1975. She probably got the idea for her "This
Lady is not for turning!" from the heavy steering on
the MGBGT? |
