Hi, fellow listers, Clearly, from recent posts, I know what David Breneman's opinion will be (!) but I wonder what others might think of the car now featured at www.britcars.com/blue3.htm As the luck

The MG looks great and it sounds like the engine and suspension is modified to standards most (some) of us aspire to. Bring it up to Portland next Labor Day Weekend for the all British show and show

Hey Lawrie, I think it looks pretty good. Pretty much a mix of everything. I probably wouldn't have done everything you did but, that what this whole thread is about. I'm curious how a '1972' spec ca

Hmmm, I'm not crazy about the wheels, and the cream-and-brown gauges are a matter of taste, I suppose; but overall, it seems like a well-conceived and executed "restification". I bet it's a dream to

I did, in fact bring it up to Portland this summer, for the NAMGAR meet. I'd certainly like to do the ABFM next year - it's been about 19 years since I attended one of those! Cheers, modified (!) al

Thanks, Jay. I understand about the need for slow progress. Work like this isn't cheap! Even buying parts at dealer cost, this B has cost me close to the price of a new Miata (but there's never any c

Presently, CA emissions regulations apply to 1974 and later cars. Until the State gummint changes things (and who knows what the Terminator might do for us!), there's a rolling 30-year exemption so,

I sent a set of stock late B gauges to Mo-Ma in Albuquerque. They re-conditioned and re-faced them for me for something close to $900, as I remember. (Big numbers like that I try to forget!)

Well, Rick, I've known Margaret since 1975 and I don't know her last name! I do, however, know that "Mo-Ma" came about because she and Morris (whose last name I also don't know) formed a partnership
