“”For when its the End of the World, but you still want to drive an MG”
This mutant sweetheart is in need of a new home that will parade her hot rod bee-butt around more! In 2010 I purchased her from a talented Dr. Frankenstein who had built her in the 80’s, out of a ’73 Midget and a ’53 Willys Military Jeep.
She’s four wheel drive, has been maintained in running condition, kept in a car cover outdoors, used very little, and makes people ridiculously happy when she drives by. Her builder told us stories of towing his boat through the woods with her after she was born, so i’m pretty sure she’s ready for the apocalypse with just a few more accouterments.
Because this car super deserves someone to make her all their own next time around, I’ve controlled myself from repairing the few defects that have happened while i’ve had her. I did recently have the hood completely refurbished, but stopped before getting into the handful of tiny rust spots on her body. Some rust has appeared on the wheel wells as well. Also, a few Maine winters ago her soft top got torn on the back from the weight of ten feet of snow around her. I have a replacement top to go along with her, but didn’t put it on yet. There are no other problems that I know of besides normal wear and tear from love and adventure, which you can see in the pictures. I’m happy to take more shots of her nitty-gritties for you. Her name is Itty-bitty, by the way.
Hopefully the photos speak for themselves, and can help to answer any questions you might have, as i’m unfortunately not familiar with her awesomely nerdy details. Thanks for passing this post on so that this unique sweetie can meet her correspondent greasemonkey!

A recent “World Tour” (Jeremy Clarkson and the guys from Top Gear on amazon) had an MGB mounted on a Land Rover Discovery chassis. It did not meet a good end. They later replaced the MGB body with one from a Mercedes 450SL. Clarkson claimed the $15k investment was worth $120k. When taken to a McCoy auction, it was a “reserve not met” at $4k (an inflated price due to Clarkson, himself, bidding on the car).
