No money had changed hands and it was sold
from under her. It was a good thing as there was a lot of rust underneath
and needed a new rolling chassis. I was glad it went and she finally agreed it
was going to be a money pit. Thank you all for the information.

A tangent, web man please forgive. I found a 1934 Pace Racer…[Read more]

am told a very good top man has left the city and opened a shop in
Nanaimo. If needed, I could probably get name and address.

I have exchanged e-mails with Brad at MG Magic. They say the Daytona was
not friendly with tops and would need to have it actually there to do…[Read more]

possibly give me some guesses before I call MG Magic. I have been informed
it is a 1976 engine. The seller bought it in Vancouver BC about 20 years ago.
He bought it about one year after it was completed. It has a bit of a sag in

car, and take some pictures. I will look for the emblem also. Is there any
particular picture that would be of help, other than the emblem? I can post
the pictures at the above site. They will be about 2.5MB each so may load or
download slowly.
I will post a note when…[Read more]

wrote about differences. I am told there is no plate.
I have uploaded the three pictures I have to my ISP. I left them unlocked in
case the viewing size is too small and you would like to download them. The

She researched locally and received estimates of $800-$1000 Cdn.
Topsonline was $230 USD. That is a big difference.
I believe the seller has a drawing with measurements. I will get it and do
some more research.
I am told the kit car was from FL. Would the maker still be…[Read more]
