Too expensive for poor girls, you can get your laced spoke wheel fix on with cruiser motorcycles for a fraction of the price of a bloody old antique farm tractor MG. If these MG owners would pass them onto the next generation, sure, but they won't... they horde them up and lock them away in garages. Probably because they aren't running half the time.

MG is SO much more sexy than any Austin-Healey.

Hi, do you by chance know who owns this MG Lester? My dad owned it back in the late 60's early 70's. Thanks for any help

1990. I thought at the start, old buildings there, no way 2017. to the point. Looking at the analytics for my MG effort. Forgot about the Midget pub , a plaque on the security house. Bet that still there. Some of my effort from last sunday video was external and click the correct thing, sure you know, can see what videos, Was this one. People been getting told about mine at the end of this. Old school. 1990. We first had Sony camcorder 1991. Dad paid dear for. My effort here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roKYgaN8nNSSe5I

My first car was a 1956 MGA; my second was a 1963 MGB -- both had wire wheels. I loved both cars for different reasons, and the lessons I learned driving them allowed me to win the first Formula Ford race I drove, as well as the first "professional" race I drove (it rained; I loved it when it rained!). There were added creature comforts in the MGB, but the MGA remains the favorite of all the cars I have ever owned. I paid $300.00 for mine. Someone recently listed one locally for $30,000. I was tempted to buy it, but my wife would have killed me.

I had no idea these were so complex. What with the reverse switch, the "tick over adjuster", etc. Very fun.

The MG TF did not have the 1489cc A-series engine that came in the MGA. It was fitted with the rare 1466cc XPEG engine. Those are two completely different units.

Dick head 1500 cc tf was not the mga 1500 motor please research your subject before you dribble

Wonder if his workshop manual covers crankshaft work, DO NOT GRIND the crank on a TF 1500, they must have realised that this engine was on the limit of development.

Only change I don't like is ruining the instrument panel design, made it cheaper for RHD and LHD.

My father spent years recreating a J2 as a J4, with an authentic J4 engine. Unfortunately he died before it was completed, and the completion of the restoration has been left to me.

It was actually raised one inch, not two. The moss motors lowering kit fixes it and will make it handle so much better. You can also add the sway bar they removed from 74.5 to 76.

That was very well produced. I can tell you have a real passion for these. Thanks for sharing.

I had one. Total piece of garbage.

One of my favorite videos. I am completing my garage as I write this before I travel to pick up a 1954 MGTF 1250 that I purchased in Florida. This will be my 5th MGTF and I am grateful to strike off one more item from my bucket list. I am truly blessed because I already have my fourth MGTF RHD 1250 in my barn workshop waiting to be restored. I only hope that I am not too old to meet the challenge. Thanks for this video and the wonderful inspiration that it provides. Guy in Columbia Mississippi

I grew up with MG’s, my first was a 1968 man, black with red seats and black piping. My brother had an mgc with three carnbs. Later on I owned an MG-TC which I loved. Last but not least, I got a rat box MGA. I started a frame off on it and realized the front end had been damaged way too much to be fixed. I sold the car for cheap. Fast forward a few years later I ended up looking for another MGA… ended up being my cars frame with a new body! Even got all my parts back in the same baggies!😂

Wonderful film, just wonderful! I bought my next MGTF 1250 today on eBay. It resides in Florida and I will pick it up shortly. This is my 5th MGTF. I still own #4 but it is all in pieces resting in my barn workshop waiting to be restored. The one I bought today is about in the shape of your white TF, a nice driver. I can't wait to go fetch her. I was born in 1954 so we are the same age. I really enjoyed your restoration sequence but wonder if I am up to the task physically and financially lol. Thanks for the great presentation!

This takes me back to my youth. I grew up with MG and the MG Car Club and was fortunate to visit the factory a few months before it closed. I also remember being invited to John Thornley's house and have lunch there. I remember his garden and his blue MGB GT. Funny how you remember these little details after so many years.

Wonderful David, My wife and I have a 2001 MGF 1600cc now 22years old with 30000 miles on her, I love you TF and appreciate your videos good luck and health, Nigel here in the UK🇬🇧

I believe James Dean had a MG TC

They`re all beautiful

I was there great video

There was a V-8, but it came later and none were imported to the US. It used the Rover 3.5l. It was sold as a MGB V-8.

I first fell in love with the TF 1500 when I was about 5 or 6 years old! I am now 74 and still love it but never been able to afford one :( I still believe I will have one before I pop my clogs. If not it will still look good driving over the clouds above!!. And thanks for your great video and series. A unique achievement .

I'm "babysitting" a stunning 62 Mk II Deluxe for an absent friend ... as an MGB GT owner (72, configured for highway use) I must say it's grown on me despite the feeling of driving a farm tractor 😂😂. I hop out of the A into my BGT ... feels like a Lexus by comparison LOL

Ive been working on this exact car !

Some cars have a timeless inner beauty, great video and greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

Thank you.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Can I put the front fenders from a 1977 convertible MG on my 1970 MGB GT hardtop coupe ?

Espectacular video

Hi ! you guys in the states no your stuff on British Classic Cars... a fantastic Knowledgeable video on the Marque ! i,m in England and today i take delivery of a 1969 MGC GT... can,t wait.😁👍

YOU AINT LIVED UNLESS YOU OWNED A MG AT SOME TIME IN LIFE.

Absolutely love them

The. MGNA wich Robin Macze talks about is in my possession. It’s being restored to its original glory. Body engine are all ready. Now doing the interior.

Does this car come with the Wilson preselector gearbox? 🧑‍🔧

I was with my dad in 1955 when he picked up his TF-1500 at Arnolt Motors in Chicago. The family he sold to in 1968 still has it. I'm jealous. It was fun. I also learned tons about cars by doing all the maintenance myself with the terrific manual and tools that were with the car. Nice to see others are keeping the flame alive today.

Mr. Rogers seems ill prepared and disorganized, quoting inaccurate information and histories. The repetition of incorrect information in road tests from 1967 continue to this day.

Brilliant man

I was best friends with bills son a classmate of mine, Mr Milliken got me tks for my first F1 at the Glenn in 69, he also built a dirt road course on his property to race our mini bikes on ,lived till 101 years old

Can't believe I just found you, looking forward to a deep dive into your videos.

Thoughtly enjoyed your presentation and narration. Thank you.

Fascinating. M.

The J4 needed a driver and riding mechanic to stabilize it in a race. It was too light for the amount of power it developed. Somehow, the C Type did not have this problem.

Sorry, but the N Type just didn't have the rawness of the K Type. They may have been lighter, but over refined. They never won races at the international level. They were just sporting family cars.

Lovely MG’S……

Sports and vintage motors in Shrewsbury will get you all your parts

I'd recommend sports and vintage motors in Prees Shrewsbury UK for pre war stuff

Sounds like a farm tractor, accelerates like a tugboat, priced like a super car, crash survivability like a ninja bike, parts availability like a German U-boat.

Salut my friend super car super video ..
