I'm envious. this page shows my '68, and then a couple of pictures after I put the running gear into a '64 body: http://www.red4est.com/lrc/racer_html/miscpix.html The skinny kid in the picture is my former self. The older gentleman is Donald Healey. I've been trying to get my supercharged '69 MGBGT back on the road for years. Everytime I start to make progress, something interferes, like home repairs, 60 hour a week projects at work, losing my job, someone crashing into the garage .... I find myself missing the spridget more than the MGB though. Once I finish the MG, I'm very tempted to buy the spridget back from the friend I sold it to and get it back on the road. I'd love to replace the 1275 with a modern 1300cc motor though. A sprite with 100-130 hp would be just about perfect. > > -Brendan > > "Photography's greatest handicap is the ease with which the medium as > such can be learned.
