Owner of a '71 MGB GT, a '59 Riley One Point Five, and a '66 Rover 3-Litre P5, plus assorted other non-British Iron. Former owner of a '69 MGC GT and a '74 B Tourer. I am deeply afflicted by the old-car bug and have a soft spot for more unusual vehicles. I'd eventually like an Austin America or an MG 1100, but they're thin on the ground and I don't have much space in the garage right about now! Drop me a line if you know of any, though.

Posted on: Thursday July 8, 2010

Gold Members can attach up to 7 pictures per post without having to use an external site like Picasa. In addition, just think of all of the money you save because of the information you can look up and access on this site. Skye does an excel...

MG 1100 For Sale In Las Vegas

Posted on: Tuesday September 29, 2009

I stumbled across this car on Craigslist: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/1378462405.html (that URL will be invalid shortly, but still...) The seller sent pictures, so I thought I would post them here. It's a rough car, but it's actually a pretty dry body shell by Northeastern standards!!! I love these little cars for some reason, so even though it's a wreck, I'd love to try to combine it with an old rotted Austin America that is sitting at a junkyard up here in NH. I know bette...

Posted on: Friday August 14, 2009

The blue Rostyles are almost bad enough to be good

Hi all, I passed this car in Newport, NH on the way home today. It's one of the few RBBs that I have ever seen and liked the looks of (sorry, guys....). I don't know anything about the seller, the car, or anything else, and I forgot to get a pic of the Engine bay (The block is red and the head is yellow, so it was out ...

Part Of My Quest To Get My MGC Back To MGC Bits

Posted on: Thursday August 6, 2009

I have been on a quest to find a way to get my MGC back to MGC bits without reverting to splined wheels (for both cost and weight reasons: the splined Superlites are heavy, and expensive. Plus, I might have a line on some new wheels at a good price....). During my searching and stumbling, I have stumbled a couple of times across Greg's (twentyover) explanation of how he converted a set of splined hubs to bolt-on duty (url=http://www.mgexp...
