There's a whole story to this poor car.
The owner needs to drive it for a while to see if he even likes it before he starts pouring money in it.
Running, driving and safe is the priority for now.

@alsancle
Here's the little beast in all it's glory.
It was sold to my customer as "Just needs an ignition coil". He's not a mechanic but he's good at building houses.
So far "Just an ignition coil" has been a cracked cylinder head, faulty Accuspark electronic distributor (which has been replaced with a points distributor) and an absolute mess of a wiring harness.

@ShawnG  Rubber bumper car.  Post 73?

@alsancle 
1976

@ShawnG Solid?

@alsancle 
Some bubbles starting to show.
It's an MGB. Rust seems to be a feature, not a bug.

@ShawnG oh no the rubbernose!!  Of course to add insult to injury Leyland then had to lift the suspension I believe nearly 2 inches to get the bumper to meet US height specs.  Sports car handling in a post 73 B?  Hmmn...

I will take a pre 67 please with the wire wheels, cool interior and primitive top...  I forget when the top went from DIY assemble the frame to folding - but I guess that's an advantage with the later cars.

@SteveMackCT 
Yes, the earlier cars are much prettier.
I owned a '67 Fiat 850 Spider for a while. It had the nice, glassed in headlamps which were also used in the Miura. A few years later, Fiat was forced to move the headlights up in the fenders to comply with height regulations and I think it really spoils the look of the car.

I feel like the late 60s - early 70's were the golden era for European sports car styling.

@ShawnG Judging by the roll bar and harnesses, someone’s been using it as Mother Nature intended.

@SteveMackCT 
Very nice. I've always loved the styling on the TR-6.
I'd have another MG Midget or AH Sprite in a heartbeat. They're so much fun to drive. You can use everything it's got and not go to jail.

@ShawnG thanks and Bingo!!

In '86 or '87 that car was just 15 years old but I couldn't get around the block without a ton of attention which says a lot I think about the state of cars in that period...

@SteveMackCT  Did yours squat in the rear end?  I think the springs went quick on those cars and they all look like tail draggers.   I agree they are a bargain compared to a Jag.  I would have made that my HS car and been a hero!  Screw the GTO.

@alsancle yeah squatted a bit but not too  bad actually.  Speaking of the GTO I will tell you the 68 Cutlass I had around 20  years ago was real bad like that.  

The thing about a TR or MG as Shawn says - you feel like your going fast pretty much all the time.  I used to say MGBs are fun for everyone but a TR-6 is a man's car.  Not sure why but you  saw as many women in MGs as men.  A female driver in a TR-6 was rare...

@SteveMackCT hey, are you saying I like to drive chick cars? 😃

I love MG’s and TR6’s. Series 1 MGB’s are great cars and I think have fabulous classic aesthetics. And as mentioned before “wide open in a midget” out in the country makes 45mph feel like 100. I’ve had several of the usual suspects regarding roadsters but I’m a fan of MG. This 66 MGB and 74 midget were both in my garage for years and I miss them.

I do agree about the TR6 Steve. I got behind one on a road just south of our house earlier in the week and followed it for about 5 miles. By the end of a mile two, I told myself “I’m getting one of those”

@tom1980 
I'd have to go look but I would expect somewhere around 5500rpm.
The B-series engine is a tough little lump with a great racing heritage.
