    That’s a rough Allison that was ridden hard and put away wet. And used she was, at 60,000 miles. That might be some sort of MG TD replica record!

    At least the seller is honest, “project car.”

    Would love to know how the fan shroud got so rusty. But my fave is the drip pan under the engine. A sign of an oil leaker!

     Car advertised is a MP LAFER. Doors open different than MG TD. Also has vents on the rear engine cover.  Body on them is very solid and fenders and body molded togeather. Fiberglass is also very thick. Friend here local is restoring one.

    Definitely a Lafer.

    60k miles is bad? Mine just turned 50k. Seems to be doing OK

    And it’s not the 60k, it’s the visible condition of the engine, and the oil leak that I don’t like.

    You mean they’re not supposed to leak oil? I thought that was a point of authenticity.

    That’s not an oil leak. Its just sweating horsepower.

    I thought all old cars leaked oil. Mine does.

    VW’s don’t leak oil, they just mark their spot!

        Side windows on these have rollup glass. Some were even power assisted. They were a nice car. They also had a lot of wooden trim.

    They really are a cut above. I like mine better, but if I’d stumbled into a Lafer in 2009 instead of a BCW I know I’d be a big Lafer partisan right now.
