Ignore the luddites, they're glorious old things. Can't see there being many 50 year old plus modern cars around in the future, people just throw them away.

In my defence Harry, Gary and I posted at the same time and I was referring to the MG's. I know it's an icon of British engineering prowess from the days when men were men and women knew their place, but come on let's face it............aren't they just the least bit shit

(Just being controversial chaps. Please excuse me )

What amazes me is that someone must have spent a fortune on redoing the body and the engine but didnt do the interior. Look at that leather.
Why would you want to have a speedo your passenger can see ?!!!!?
Seriously though they are nice older cars, not my thing but nice to see cars of that age are still around.

Yeah, I did realise that really Stuart, just having a little fun, these were great cars in their day and a great marque totally fucked up by BL.
Happy memories of running around in a mates Magnet and awful ones of a colleagues MG Maestro what a bloody abortion that was and the voice makes sat-nav sally sound educated, smooth, suave and sophisticated
Oh well guess most members have been brought up on Front Wheel Drive and or Turbo`s time to get the pipe and slippers
