Seconded.
Man, I wish I had thought of that when I owned one of those machines. I could have thrown away the engine and saved myself a ton of money.
Well now, kind Sir, Craigslist and your rachet set...

Based on an MGTD you say? then, just dump a Chrysler Hemi in it, and forget about handling!
Only louder.I'll bet it handles like a labrador on linoleum.

We did a trip to Memphis some years ago, had to do the Elvis thing, Gracelands, Sun Studio and all that. Not impressed, but we loved Beale Street. Out of curiosity, not being country music oficiandos, we went to Nashville with the intention of just staying a day. Stayed there five days, absolutely loved the place. Our english accents were overheard in a bar, we were approached by a couple who were planning a trip to the UK, got invited back to their's. Steaks on the barbeque, surrounded by a group of their friends. Met up with them again when they made that trip to Europe. Still in touch.Ironic that you are in London and I'm in Nashville and you have been to the Lane Motor Museum and I haven't. However, I have been *intending* to go for about the last 10-20 years. Don't know which of the country music stars had the cow-horn MG.
Perhaps an engine comparison is called for: For what it's worth, I looked up a motoring journal the year that my car was new: Nought to sixty: 30 seconds. Won't be burning up the quarter mile anytime soon then.

A fat kid on a Schwinn can beat an MG YB sedan.
This was ok in 1947 in England, not so good today.
It's still a beautiful car though, on the outside and on the inside. Makes me wonder what they might be building today, if they had kept up with the times. Something like a BMW only more human and less robot.
You know you're getting old when the following words can reasonably be used in a sentence to describe you:
morning
garden shed
lighting a pipe
dressing gown
Even better than that! I now note (check out the thread list in Observation Bar) that that particular post was moved into that thread. In fact, that post with which the member quit was originally a New Thread!lollollollol
