Not true! I remember going into Inskip's in Manhattan in the fifties to buy parts and seeing a four seater in the showroom. I have no idea how many were made though. Gene I actually saw one being res

I don't know that this is strictly speaking a bodge, but it is worthy of note. It happened when my MGA (1600 Mk-II) lost several teeth on third gear accelerating onto the Mass Pike back in 1987. The

[Possibly no B-C content, depending on the answer :-] I saw a very interesting car in Atherton yesterday, and I thought I'd see if anyone knew what it was. Biggest clue is probably the licence plate

Is it marque wars time? :-) Nah. But while we're here, ever notice that the MG's on this list are named things like "Grandfather" and "The Geezer", while the TR's are named things like "Sarah" and "E
