Surely, Larry, if you wish to praise Moss, you should do so without the use of asterisks in place of the middle two letters? Or are you really only half-hearted in your praise of this great company,

I can't say with certainty that I ever worked on a TF originally painted MG red (the lighter of the two reds) but I know for a fact that I once restored a TF which was Autumn red and which had never

And, yet, why is this? The present-day cost of professionally building a correct "Show-quality" TC is about $40,000. So, either there are great variations in peoples' ideas of what really is "Show qu

And I guess my point, Tim, is that we -as owners and restorers of these cars - should do all we can to change that situation! If we, the "experts", decry the high prices and tell the world at large t

No argument from this corner, Chip! But I still stick to my main point which was that we in the hobby and in the trade need to discourage the spread of the belief that T-types are not worth a whole l

If your car still looks as it did when I last saw it, a realistic selling price right now would be $12,500. I'd insure it for $15K if it were mine, Lawrie British Sportscar Center

If you want to risk the bolts stripping further or falling out in due course, Bob, just re-using the SAE bolts is the way to go. {G} The proper way to fix this problem is really simple, however. Buy
