Nice one mark,cheers,wonder what happened to that car?

I think a chap called Garry Wilson had it for a bit - the same guy that's got a 6R4 now! - and then Roger Binton.
I'm pretty sure an MG XPower Forum member was restoring it a couple of years back, but I cannot recall his name or username.

It was bought (off Ebay I think ???) by one of Roger Binyons mechanics. Used to be on here user name Levi 501 ???
I sent him a steering rack FOC and he never gave me the postage back !

Thats out of order
Captain Chaos- 02-19-2008
That's the chap Garreth - Levi 501.
Not very good ethics was it - tut, tut!

To be honest I'd forgotten all about it until I saw the post about the car.
I think I sent it from work anyway so it didn't actually cost me anything :lol: not the end of the world.....
