MG
The Classic Marque

The thing about the PA is that it makes a TC look big and fast. Lovely cars though. Great engine (overhead cam) and top notch build quality with beautiful lines. But not so great on modern freeways. Even a TC, which is smaller and much rougher than a TD/TF, is far better for distance touring.

$15K was way too cheap, but the market is in a major slump at the moment and half of the country is...

Last I heard was an email from him. I just tracked it down and was surprised to see it was just over two years ago.
At the time he was doing okay, but with three cars in various states of dependability and a small child plus a house to sort out he had his hands full.

I should probably ping him again.

Glad it seems you've cracked it Colin👍

While sort of like a TC, its more of a museum car. The TC will always rein in the MG sales world being that it started the whole "Average Joe" sports car movement and still has a strong following of both show cars and active drivers, especially on the West Coast.

Yeah, I'm earthing the single spring of the horn push (as shown in Paul's photo) to the steering hub when doing the tests (except the one where I connected the good earth directly to the spring).

You might want to email Mike Lempert direct to see if he has a suitable polished spun aluminium boss to suit your steering column: https://pbase.com/mdlempert/prices & https://pbase.com/mdlempert/bugeye

I have a similar Lempert replica Falcon Le Mans wheel on my MkII Sprite - from various spares I can check out to see if the steering wheel bolt pattern is the same for Motoli...

Hi Colin, sorry to hear of your painting woes. As you say, the quick jobs are the ones that can take a while!

What’s your plans for competing with the car this year? Are events at Loton Park going ahead?

Cheers
