Cute, Cute, Cute, I love it!!🤗I used to have a 1978 MGB I purchased new, wish I still had it. What a fun little car.

[@stevehill5637]

Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing. I have a couple of these cars, and LOVE driving them. Sure wish I had deeper pockets!

Wish i had that engine in my mini back in the 80s 😮

A cutie indeed! I've got a few "Miata" roads here in southern Oregon (USA) that would be perfect for that little guy.

[@Slithey7433]

Very nice MG!

This is one of my favorite British classics I’ve seen. Beautiful

Wow 😮😳

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any more....:-((

Oh man I knew I shouldn't have been using an all cardboard engine

[@motobuildracing]

Nothing wrong with a cardboard engine, you just need to get the coolant mix right, otherwise they go all soggy!

@@motobuildracing yes and you find the power curve just sags as the Revs build😂

[@malcolmwhite6588]

@@motobuildracing if you’re talking 135 at the rear wheels, that’s very impressive for normally aspirated engine of that vintage. That’s probably something like 160/170 hp at the crank?

[@motobuildracing]

no i said 135 is flywheel horsepower I cannot see anyone ever getting 135 at the wheels from a 1300 normally aspirated A series@@malcolmwhite6588

@@motobuildracing I missed that bit,but irrespective, that still hugely impressive from that generation of engine

A Series or B Series engine? Regardless, that siamesed port engine is in rude health😊

[@motobuildracing]

this is the A series

Horrible little engine stock.

[@benjifatcat5729]

May I ask what fuel pressure you are using, thanks.

[@motobuildracing]

we use a silver top facet pump without a pressure regulator and it provides 3psi
