Re: Hard decision
It would be worth you putting the word around the clubs, MGOC and MGCC as they would have substantially greater catchment reach than this forum

Re: Hard decision

Rover 3.8 V8 engine and LT77 gearbox. Offers ?
I have a Rover 3.5 engine from an SD1 in my garage gathering dust. It seemed a good idea at the time for an engine transplant but given how long it takes to get anything done I'd rather have the space back. It was from a running SD1 and was carefully dismantled by the previous owner and all parts pu...

Re: What to do with a rust bucket
I built a Hawk 289 in the 19902 or more specifically a flatter sided Hawk Ace body on a Hawk 289 chassis.

Registration blocked by username and email
A friend tried registering but the process has failed and wont let him try again as the forum software thinks his email address is already in use so it wont allow what it sees as a 2nd registration.

Regular crimping tools and crimping ratchet pliers intended for generic ele...
