MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
I posted a thread on the MGA side of the forum about three MGAs (and one B) I found near Solomon's Island, Md.
In addition there were two little sports cars that I have no idea what they are. I took a picture of them and posted it:

Anyone know?
Too bad you don't have a picture of the front of the cars. That would probably make them easier to identify. Pretty cool yard you found there.
I'm pretty sure the one on the left is a Berkeley. The one on the right might be a Crosley Hotshot.
I was headed to a funeral and was rushed - obviously. Wife and kids in the car, people at the church, etc. Had to stop though.

They looked too large to be Berkleys to me - judging by the relative size of the blue car parked behind them. I thought maybe Allards, but they are definitely something that you don't see everyday. AL Bradley
All I get is a photo of left to right, headlight of pickup, three MGAs, MGB and some maroon car, background a baby blue Maverick, and some generic sedan to the right of it. Nothing else. What photo are you guys seeing.
Thanks, didn't know I had to select yet another reply post than the one the link went to.
The one on the left is no doubt a Berkeley SE-328. I know as I owned two of them. The right one could be an SE-496 as I can partially see the front bulge. Cool little cars. I have pictures of mine on my website. www.paulbrewyet.com Paul
Yes to the one on the left being a Berkeley. The one on the right is about the same size, so that means SMALL!

You should send those pics in to Classic Motorsports for their "ran when parked" section.
The one on the right is a Crosley Hot Shot. I had one and a Super (it had doors). My Hot Shot was a 1949 with 4 wheel disc brakes, had raced a Sebring.
The super was drum brakes and a 1952. Last year I beleive.
I also had a 1951 Wagon. Strange little cars. 750 cc cast iron overhead cam engine. 26 hp on a good day.
Engine was use in hydroplanes in the 50's and 60's. They would wind forever.
