In addition to lurking & occasionally posting on this talk list, I also
subscribe to the MG Experience forum (MGB/GT section).  Today, someone
posted a nice, recent (2010 @ Goodwood Revival) photo of one of the Dick
Jacobs Midget coupes, from 1962 (or '63).  Great looking car!  What a shame
BMC didn't produce a run of those coupes.  Sure, the later Healey-built
Sprite coupes were much better, aerodynamically, but those Jacobs coupes
sure were pretty.

I seem to recall reading that only two of them were built.  Anyone have more
information on them?  Great idea for a fiberglass ad-on kit for a
Spridget...
