Changed the rose-jointed rear wishbones on my Elite last week - definitely made easier with this (cheap) mobile tilting lift ...

An MG P Type, somewhere on the moors in the 1950s.
Wonderful.

Wonderful.

JB 7541 I think..... There was something familiar about that number, but I was thinking of JB7521, the Maurice Toulmin 'Works' Cream Cracker P type....

An interesting car for sale in the USA.
1969 AM DB6 for less than £99k. Not my thing but I’ve seen what these fetch at auction in top condition.
Unusually this is in America but is RHD and still retains its UK registration number. Laid up for 30 years following a front end ‘tup’.
Matching numbers, low miles and a very nice original colour combo of tan/gold exterior and red leather interior.

Mike
