LOL, reminds me of a similar one I saw: "MG Muffler Brackets"

It was a spool of bailing wire

Why do the British drink warm beer?..... Because they have Lucas refrigerators...


So (sadly) true.

I have a couple around here someplace. I don't believe either actually runs right now. At some point in the relationship you just give up.

BMCs can be fixed with japanese bike parts.

Aint that the truth! I drove an MG Midget for one year in college. That thing broke front to rear one piece at a time. So fun to drive, so sad to see sitting, paying for or fixing it...:(

This is my british car. Not exactly pro-touring, but since someone asked.

Never had problems with the electrical system, but that puddle in front of the car is a fuel leak I have been trying to fix for a while now. We got the rear carb done, but the front one is giving us trouble.

And yes, the trafficators do work !

It is a right hand drive that my father and I picked up in Vancouver and drove across Canada with it in the back of the biggest U-Haul we could find, back in 1980.

Before I bought and built my AMC Javelin I came very, very close to building an MGB GT with a Mopar small block v8 or turbo-4.
Great little cars, and a v8 can easily fit in 'em.
I think an LS would be an easy install in one of those.:thumbsup:

We are getting ready to start the work to put an Kurt Urban LS7 with a 5 spd in a plastic bumper 1977 MGB with custom front a rear suspension for one of the owners of Jet Hott performance coatings. It should be interesting. Not a lot of British will be left in the car when we get done.

I will skip posting the pics to save bandwidth......:D :D
