They will not learn if we do not teach, I taught my 4 Boys all about mechanizing, 3 got it and one will have to hire it done. He will at least know if he is being screwed though, so at least he learned that. Not everybody will be mechanically inclined, just like everyone will not be able to hunt and fish for their food.

    MG's are cute, fun to drive when they run but a NIGHTMARE to maintain! I spent 30 years working on British and European cars. As well as Japanese and of course American Iron. The consensus in my shop was that MG stood for Miserable Garbage. LUCAS stands for Leave U Cold And Shivering. Bless your heart if you get that unit running dependably. Between you and Aaron I have no doubt it will be a labor of love. Your niece, The Kid, is a treasure. We love her and Finley a bunch!

    • @williamwoods8022
      @williamwoods8022 2 года назад +2

      Utter DRIVEL! As Jay Leno says you Americans are garbage at working on British/European cars and then blame the cars when you never get things right. British cars back then were always simple to maintain and easy to maintain as well and the problems with these cars back then was people not servicing and looking after them and garages doing garbage jobs on them using CHEAP parts and then blaming the car/Lucas for any problems when these parts failed or the car broke down. We had the same problem here in the UK with the garages and fast fits etc ripping people off and fitting cheap parts etc and owners who never serviced their cars until they broke down and they had to take them into a garage to get them fixed or sold them on and then other stupid people would buy that unlooked after car and then blame the car/manufacturer for all the problems they ended up with. We ended up looking after and servicing our own cars and never used cheap parts in them and always used Lucas as well when replacing points etc and we never had any problems with any of the BL cars we owned. Still lots of people with old BL cars reliably driving around here in the UK today no problem and others doing road tests such as Hubnut exposing that these cars were not the rubbish that people keep on spouting that they were.

    Tough to pick a favorite, I love the enthusiasm for the car that all of you have, love the learning going back and forth between generations, family is awesome. The MG will be a project, I was born in 1958 and my folks brought me home in their 1952 MG TD. Dad had freshened it up and they traveled around with the car but my arrival ended the 2 seat deal. Dad was a gearhead extraordinaire, and he spoke of the car fondly til he passed, but always cautioned me about anything British..."son, they do a lot of things right, but the Lucas Electrical...well if you step into one just plan on a new harness." My Mother is 91 and still remembers the top down rides with a scarf over her hair, and the exact paint name and code for the color he painted it.

The second one I drove for 10 years as my primary (when not in the shop) ride. I sold it to an officer in the RAF who took it back to England where he intended to flip it from left to right hand drive. Oh yes I had it with me in England for three years.

    I owned a 1275 MG Midget which I had from new in 1973 and I would like to quosh this perceived wisdom of unreliability. My car never broke down in the three years I owned it and the same was true of the MGB GT that I owned afterwards. Your 1500 Triumph engined??? Midget has suffered at least 40 years of poor servicing and badly fitted mods. I presently own a 1966 MGB roadster that has been totally rebuilt with a Heritage bodyshell and it is totally reliable also. So to all the naysayers I say give your car some love and good servicing and it will not let you down. Strangely there seem to be a lot more MGs still surviving than Toyotas or BMWs. Good luck with the Midget project they really are fun sports cars.
