Engine rebuilt 5-2016 by local MG restore shop.
Just never got around to paint or interior.
Have lots of MG books and some spare parts. Along with the custom book I had made for this car.
contact me : MG@AKEENE.com Glendale Arizona U.S.A.
==================================================
UPDATE ======================
During an 80 mile run, in 106 degree weather, standing outside pouring water on carbs to cool a bit. Saw smoke in window. Right door locked with top and side windows in place, Had to run around. When I opened the door it burst into flames. Fire ext was on right side front seat, floor. All flames by now and could not reach it.
Called 911. Took FD 32+ mins. to reach me.
By that time.. she was full involved. Engine was still running till just before FD pulled up. Head lights were still on. I do not know how, but they were.
The horns went off in soulful - slow wine, then nothing.
Insurance co will auction off what is left.
There is a hole in my heart as all the sweat, tears and FUN we have had and the places in her these last 17 years.
We will miss her.
