Is that a Datsun under the pipe pile? You forgot to install the wire mesh grill protecters on the floor too!

I may actually have those darn things presentable!

That, my friend, is a 1964 MG Midget MKII. 1098cc dual carb. Total refurb project.

Tim, according to the grill that's actually a '64 Austin Healey Sprite MKII. Same basic car, mainly trim changes. Sprite is more desirable too.

Trunk badge says MG and the VIN confirms that. Must be the wrong grill sadly.

Yeah, grill may have been swapped at some point. Happened a lot. I was going to mention checking the VIN. H-AN for Healey and G-AN for MG. Nothing sad about it, very cool and fun car either way.
