Can you guys pay back that loan so I can buy this ride...
We should be able to arrange a grant from the Fed auto program.
Our MG-A was a Lucas basket case... beautiful, but the wiring was just awful. Our MG-B never had a problem. It surprises me how small they are when I see one these days. British racing green, wire wheels, ragtops, both. I had a turbocharged Corvair Spyder for high school, and drove a Falcon to college... a Mustang in ugly clothing - it was cheap to drive, and could carry 5 kegs plus a lookout.
That sporty but underpowered experiment led to some early 70’s Porsche powered Super Beetles (I had 3 of those), all with sunroofs. Concert halls on wheels, back in the pre-subwoofer days of Pioneer, Craig, power booster amps and, um, Mott the Hoople. After the second moron crossed the centerline and took out another one, the insurance bought number three which I sold and bought something a little more substantial in the front end. Big block. Never looked back.
Good times. I preferred two wheels eventually though, and with time, that obsession mutated to off-road, hence I’ve been driving a truck since... with a few side excursions in the later 70’s to Malibu and Corvette... small block daily drivers. Wish I had all of em stashed in a garage.
