About 95% done on restore. Been sitting at my dads for 10 yrs. I've had it since Aug. Hope to have it running this weekend.

What year is it? It looks like a rounded tail light pre 1968 MG 1800cc. But then again it has the head rests of a newer one. Those wheels look great on it. Nice, real nice!! I wish I had one again.

Rick,

It's a 1971...

Not much is original. The interior was put together from different yrs, Body panels. The side markers and side molding were removed much like we used to do to VWs. Cleans up the lines. Has the 1800, dual SU Carbs. The wheels and tires are off a Nissan 240SX. Lots of interchangeable parts...
