MG
The Classic Marque

I had a look at David Manners. I couldn’t find a price for the whole kit but, surprisingly, the Morris Minor bellhousing was £300 and the Midget £350 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don't David Manners Group own the rights to the kit anyway, or at least they hold the patterns for having the bellhousings cast?

Never mind. There's always a 'Spoons handy!

Moss is cheaper, the Frontline prices don't include VAT !

FTFU sells a hi-temp version I've used a couple times with good results.

Selling off in parts, for more than the whole would command.

Like buying a wrecked car to break it for spares.

All legal, seems ok to me.

Indeed they did, and the reason seems to remain a mystery.

Have you read the MG Experience thread on this? Some interesting suggestions ...

The Frontline 1275 kit looks like a bargain at only (from) £57.55

Mine from Moss failed a couple of months ago after probably 3 years (~6,000 miles) of driving. Could as easily have been caused by an installation error as a product defect. Anyway, it blew out a segment at the lower left of the #4 exhaust. It made an unpleasant noise so I put a new gasket, also Moss, in. Now, 1,500 to 2,00 miles later, all is OK. Don't know about tomorrow.

The article mentioned that they own all their own property, so they are going to sell that off and rent it back, so the activist can asset strip the firm and move on to another
