    I’m puzzled , with all the plugs out you should have been able to turn the motor over by the fan belt to check the timing, saves removing the radiator again. I used to be you 50 ago, always working on bombs!

    Tae out the engine and gearbox and sell them to a Spitfire enthusiast and replace it with an Opel or Ford lump from the 80's. Replace the electrics with Bosch and patch it up. They are easy to weld.

    nice to see an engine you can still work on without a computer. I loved working on cars back in the 60's . In Canada the few small cars came from England and I had quite a few Riley, Austin Healy , Sprite , Morris Minor etc. they were cheap and good for us young drivers. I had a 1949 Anglia at !0 hp.

    I learned the auto body trade by working on and restoring these cars for a British car club north of Toronto in the 80's. Jaguars too. They had it bad for rust. It was a great experience. I've just retired from the trade this summer. Probably keep it at in some form.

    I have owned two very similar * Triumph" machines. Always with quirks and a wood dash component, these were for young people or such as young in heart. They were the most fun on narrow and winding semi-mountain roads as the low center of gravity was splendid to press for fast transit as cornering. "raidal tires helped . And where parking as so slim and compact as to advantage , for instance as cobblestone. Sad to see the body condition in such rusted and destroyed state. As size and configure, the "MG" types were fun to meet on the road. I always waved at the mg owners, you see. The engines and drivetrain I found very reliable. Very thrifty on fuel. I suspect this machine simply meets your channels name. I very much have enjoyed your posts. M.

I am currently working on and driving a 1992 Toyota pickup 22re 5 speed manual and drove it about 2,800 miles across America with no problem other than the damaged lower control arms I couldn't fix at the time and it is now fixed. I love this truck. It has treated me well and been extremely reliable for me.
