XXIst Monte Carlo Rally 1951 
An MG Y taking part in the xxistmonte carlorally1951. Unfortunately we are unable to make out the number plate of the car driven by Major A Pownall (Car number 247) who finished 45. The car was listed as a 1.5 litre car so did it have an uprated engine possibly? Film extract courtesy of the Shell Historical Film Archive.

Heavenly Creatures 1994 
Synopsis
Wealthy and precocious teenager Juliet (Kate Winslet) transfers from England to Christchurch, New Zealand, with her family, and forms a bond with the quiet, brooding Pauline (Melanie Lynskey) through their shared love of handsome big screen tenor Mario Lanza and games of make believe. But when their parents begin to suspect that their increasingly intense friendship is becoming unhealthy, the girls decide to run away to America, hatching a dark plan for those who threaten to keep them apart. The MG Y is just in front of the house and center of the driveway.
