Nicely done roof chop, but why the blanked out rear windows?
I only very vaguely remember what a standard Moggy looks like under the bonnet- what motor's that Chris? Looks like a standard A series but the gearbox tunnel seems bigger than that would require. I was expecting a Rover!
Very tidy looking car.

I only very vaguely remember what a standard Moggy looks like under the bonnet- what motor's that Chris? Looks just like mine that I had back in ohhhhhh about 1967? I always remember there was room to stand in the engine compartment alongside the engine! Not sure what year mine was but the reg was 589FMM and it had a starting handle which came in very useful on freezing mornings! Of course it was no good if I had forgotten to leave it in gear with the handbrake OFF as the handbrake would be frozen on! Oops sorry to rabbit on, just brough back memories, you can have your thread back now! |

Looks like a better front suspension than on standard models.
