1937 MG VA (JH)
This 1937 MG VA has been in the shop longer than any other project. It's all done now and just needs a last test drive. When we received it, it had been stored for thirty years -- everything had been disassembled -- and it was all wrapped up in newspaper full of Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War. We have had to purchase a body tub from England, new wheels from England -- and repair so many individual items. Here, Curt assembles the water pump, the shaft for which we just had hard chrome plated. More pictures next week! It has been Curt's project from nearly the very beginning.
It certainly is a stunning vehicle!!
And now the carburetters work correctly -- it ticks over at about 500 rpm
01/13/06 Before calling the shipper we thoroughly tested every system and looked over every inch of this fine motorcar!
01/13/06 And here it is, ready to make it's journey to Massachusetts.
