The 2 Series Active Tourer is already FWD. Just a heavy Mazda 5 with a slightly shorter wheel base.

It would probably be much easier for them to start from scratch, since there is a lot of surgery and fabrication involved, but they don’t, because they want to have the car registered as an original MG-B, not a Frontline-B.
If they’re somehow skirting the rules and using an existing MGB body, replacing the panels and keeping the original VIN attached to the body, then, yes, it would be legal to import. If they’re creating a car from scratch similar to Eagle with their Jaguar E-Types, then, no, it would not be legal to import.

Tiff Needell says it best: “It’s the best of both worlds.”
I need a new car under $40,000, that can safely haul a ton, be a wagon with decent capacity, and be a car (not a crossover, not a raised “car”, not a CUV, not an SUV)...
Makes my dream Mini pickup look like a gosh darn behemoth. Maybe this small car is the result of what was going on in this picture.
I do know that. And I own a classic Mini that I’ve wanted to install one into, for a long time. There’s just one major flaw: if you want to have passengers and/or easy ingress/egress... A roll cage won’t do anything for you in that car.
A car that is small, has a super reliable Honda motor, has enough old stuff on the car to tinker on, is hard-ish to get replacement panels for and is a death machine - so they understand that driving sensibly is necessary or natural selection takes place. Oh yeah, and it has the same power-to-weight ratio of a Porsche…
I feel like I’m gonna get some flack for this: The Morgan Aero 8

Because W221 Mercedes S-Class.
The 1986 Ford Taurus. As sad as it was... It was the future. Front engined, FWD family sedans would reign supreme... All sci-fi films would contain at least one... And every lover of American muscle would shudder at the thought of one... Ford... You damn dirty apes...

Either the Jaguar V12 Miata.
Yes.
The rotational energy of the rear wheels act as flywheels. His foot must have stayed on the gas just for a millisecond after the front wheels went into the air. The wheels no longer had the friction of the ground to impede rotation, so the higher speed of the wheel caused the rear end to drop slightly, and the front…
Getting in and out of a Mini's backseat, always go ass first. Trust me. As odd as it looks, it makes it a billion times easier.
Saw a C63 at my local smog test shop that had this exact same wrap (since its obviously not a paint job). Not worth my time to take a picture. I think this kind of thing looks terrible.
When it comes to basic car shows, I'm a massive fan of the Queen's English car show, which is local to me.
