I was just on the mgcars.com website looking for any news of the new MGs. (There is none.) I ended up looking under the heritage section and clicked on the '95 MGF, it describes the car as: The arriv
Nope, they are right - mid-engine - although I don't know that I'd describe that set-up as "classic"... That to me means front engine/rear wheel drive.... == Dan DiBiase Dayton, NJ 76 MGB Tourer Driv
It *is* a mid-engined, rear wheel drive design, why on earth would you disbelieve it? And the sites are either http://www.mgcars.co.uk or http://www.mg-cars.com. Those in the know reckon there won't
I donno, I thought that is why everyone claimed it was not an MG and hated it for some reason.... So why is there so much dislike for that car? -- Andrew Lundgren lundgren@byu.net http://www.itwest.n
*Is* it so disliked? It is the top selling sports car in the UK with some 40% of the market. Some MG die-hards think anything not made in Abingdon is not a proper MG, some even think anything made af
Not everybody hates it, they sold a bunch! I just think it looks laike a rebadged Miata. Also, it's not an inexpensive, simple litle car like our LBCs. They oughta revive the B, with a FI Rover V8 an
Well, I guess I also have to mention that classic Jensen Interceptor - front engine - all wheel drive! == Dan DiBiase Dayton, NJ 76 MGB Tourer Driver - Brooklands Green 66 Pull-handle MGB Tourer Proj
Hi Guys I, like Charley, love a new topic of conversation, but the Jensen! The Interceptor was and is one hell of a car plus it is a superb high speed GT in the most traditional sense, but four wheel
<<<snip>>> My sentiments. But, because of passenger safety and emissions, it will never be a simple as our LBC's. A help would be to provide a CD ROM program and hook up kit so the home mechanic cou
If you want to discuss the visual aspects, I think the MGA could have been a little better, even though I own one a like most of the styling. The profile is fine, but the front quarter shot isn't. I

This is almost too picky to bother mentioning, but the 4WD Jensen was referred to by the factory as a an "FF", and was therefor technically not an Interceptor. In fact, they did not share the frame,
I know not. The TVR is also technically a front/mid engine model - the > entire engine on mine is behind the front wheel hub axis. Not to mention that Ferguson also converted a 60's Ford Mustang to
That's verryy interesting about the Jensen FF, especially being a car ahead of it's time. So was the Cord. They had all kinds of trouble with the front wheel drive. According to what I've read, the C
I agree, Charley, especially since now that the emissions stuff is engineered in from the beginning, versus hung on like the 70's; I suspect that the negative impacts on power output are relatively s
I presume he meant "classic" in the sense of "classic layout for small sports roadsters", not "grand automobiles of the Twenties and Thirties"... Charley & Peggy Robinson had this to say: -- == Max H
