MGAs are true classics. The worst thing about them at least in this climate were the wooden floor boards.

Replacing rotten wood floorboards is easier than repairing rusted out metal floorboards!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. The silver E Type is pure car porn. Did my time as a mechanic working on British cars.....scarred for life!

Ahhhhh....but to keep it original the wood used must be ash....anything else is faking it

Another Vintage favorite involving wood was the old Morgans with wooden frames. What were the British thinking???:y24:

 

[The Seeker]

Yep....ash wood frames on the Moggies too!

I still remember the old Morgan with the JAP v-twin engine, the Vangaurd.

Me, too! I would love one of the new Morgan three wheelers.

Those are very cool. Watched an episode of Top Gear where they reviewed one of these. ANd for the $ it did very well against the other 2 open wheel cars......a KTM crossbow, and....some other thing.

I've wanted one of those since I saw Peter Sellers character arrive in one in a movie called "The Party" which also starred Claudine Longet.
