My favorite part isn't where they say it is a 69, or even the 3 cylinder engine bit, but the fact that they used the tonneau cover for the top! Redneck ingenuity at its best!

Not a very descriptive listing is it? Little things like, does it run, rust, etc...

Not exactly a "reasonable car at a reasonable price!"

I must have that car. It appears to be the long lost 3 cylinder racing prototype :)

You guys are tough! Its not the little midgets fault. The seller must be one can short of a six pack or should I say one gear short of a four speed.

Nah, he's just one cylinder short of an engine.

The seller also has a 1971 Spitfire for sale. Both the MG and Triumph each have only 9,999 miles. Talk about coincidence....

I looked at it today. The floors have deep rust on the top AND bottom sides. Lots of outside-storage neglect. One complete repaint, including the rubber parts, now mostly orange. Tonneau cover, with orange overspray.

Seller owns a major repair and body shop, but never bothered to see if it starts or even turns over freely.

Nice.... parts car.

BTW, its a 1971... built 11/70, and it has a FOUR cylinder 1275, as expected.
