Re: How old is this car?

I really cant get a good look from attachment you supplied us.
Maybe someone else can see better than me and let you know.

Re: How old is this car?

Not sure what your asking....It's an MGA(1956-1962) I am trying to see if it has disc brakes or drum brakes up front....Look like drums to me, making it a 1500(1956-1959).

They are drums...

...but, there's not enough left for it to qualify as a "car"!

Yeah..I noticed, same goes for the inner lower front fender....probably was a decent car before it was canibalized.

What's the big deal? I think it looks nice! For about 25 Gs, you could lift up the oil fill cap and slide another "A" under it! Easy restoration. Cool! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif PJ

I know who has this car. If you are serious, let me know and I can find out for you or put you in touch with him.

BTW...the charcoal grill will cost extra.

Re: How old is this car?

Just some time and resources, that's all ya need. Get a few of these at the right price and next thing ya know, you're going for a Sunday drive. If it ain't rusted out it's salvageable. Maybe in my next life....

All I can say is that it's a good thing that there's chain link fence keeping that Triumph from getting at it and trying something funny!
