[NOBBC] MG Stuff….

[G. Mugele]

I sent your info to Greg Harwood the Land Rover guy. along with a note
asking what he wants to do.  I know that he's taken on more than he has time
for but I'm sure he'll work his way through all that crap eventually.

I did spot something in the mess that, to me,  looks like an MGC bonnet.
check photo #57.  Isn't that from an "C"?
And weren't most of the MGCs the GTs?    I don't think I saw many convertibles
back then.

Yeah I've been amazed at what has happened to the price of Giuliettas.
especially the Sprint Speciales .. geez.  I always preferred the slightly
newer ones for some of the minor detail improvements and for the 5-speed and
. well. I think I prefer the 1600 engine.   As it is none of 'em are
over-powered. even by anemic British Car standards.
And hey being honest here. I know it's a little shallow but really the later
bonnet with the wider scoops looks a lot cooler.

Trouble is I can't think of any good reason to get a long desired over
another Brit car, considering that I could probably get a semi decent Jag Mk
II for the price of a so-so Alfa.
