I had 4" wide aircraft (Army Surplus) seatbelts in my MGA with the Olds 215
V8 - mine wasn't quite as wild as yours, but it was fast enough to scare
people.

What is funny, now, every time I happen across a derelict MGA, I think
"You know, I should do another one" The balls are still brass just
worn down over time... one was enough.

I remember two things about that ride.
1. At the moment the new owner launched [it was truly a launch] I came to
realize I had failed to install handholds for a passenger.
2. I then came to realize the only thing keeping me inside the open car was
my superior olympic strength butt cheeks, firmly
Sounds like an experience you would not want to repeat

Your comment about lawyers brought back a memory of when I sold it. First,
I took the guy for a ride, and demonstrated what it would do, with all the
cautions I had gained from learning how to aim it and pray.. then, we
swapped seats and I became the passenger, which was the first time I had
ever
So the body is pretty much a loss, interior is a loss, but you may have a
decent engine with starter / alternator, maybe some other useful parts to
strip off. How much is the seller paying you to take his problem off his
hands?

There's an MG of some sort for sale near here. Restoring old MGs and
selling them appears to be the retirement hobby of the seller, three or
four times a year a different one (always just one) appears on his front
lawn with a "for sale" sign.
I've never looked at them closely but from drive-by

A neighbor kid had one of these when I was maybe 13 or so, it was a
total POS but fun to ride in. It was parked out front of his house one
day and I noticed smoke coming out from under the front. I went and
