I am confused !!! I have a 1975 manufactured rubber bumper roadster that I have owned for a few months but only just getting started on a major refurb. I have to replace the windscreen and surround and during prep for this have been examining the instrument panel. Between the Rev counter and the Spe...

Thanks again Vic, I’ve seen his ads so will contact him for all my ignition wants.

The only slight issue is how this will be perceived within MG circles given that it does not remotely reflect the o...

Having leads on overdrive servicing, and windscreen replacement, my thoughts now turn to hood replacement. The hood on my 1976 car is black vinyl with some dark green piping and a zip out rear window but also has a 6 inch split behind the driver’s door ( presumably from careless folding)! So the que...
