"Do you think the mechanic can talk her into leaving her car alone and build a
replica using more modern parts?"
Steve, Nope - a fake one would not cut
it.
I spoke with her a while on Sunday afternoon too. She came to our MG
Club's
invitational show at the Vanderbilt museum. The car was a gift from
her parents
for her 16th birthday. She is very attached to it and wants to
drive it again,
but has not driven anything with a clutch in over 25 years
(the car is
absolutely complete has been stored in a garage for at least that
long). The car
will need a thorough going through in addition to the
automatic.
There were some very nice TD's at the show and she really wants
to drive her car
agian - she's just afraid of stopping and starting on the
hills of Long Island's
North Shore. She seems to be a very nice lady, and I
got the distict impression
she represents some of the old money that still
resides in that area.
