MG MGA - Monte Carlo Coupe

This photo of a 1500 Coupe at the Glasgow start of the Monte Carlo Rally is currently on the BBC website. Anyone know what year that would be?

This was John Gotts car a twin cam used in 1959 IMO
Wasn't it. Very famous MGA

Thanks. Knew the reg was familiar; couldn't remember what it belonged to.

I attended most of the starts between '58 and '65 (by which time I had my own 1600) but although I seem to remember a black private-entry Coupe, this one escaped me. Must be something to do with always rooting for the underdog . . .

Gotties car was a works entry as I am sure you will be aware.

From this link - it looks like it sold for £42k in 2002, can that be right?
