Just make sure that vintage car has an overdrive gear. There’s nothing like driving through Cambria, Big Sur and other beautiful places at high RPM. It’s fun for an hour, but it is nice to be able to turn it down a bit to hear the ocean, birds, zebras and such. Plus, it’s good to not be a jerk to those out there to…

The Mini Hustler. ... The Mini Hustler. A Terrarium on wheels.
I’ve always liked the shape of the Matador. And I’ve always liked velour interiors (don’t judge me).
The Alpine Armoring E38 750iL.
It’s a mini-minivan that is a BMW 2 series.
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
HRCR Clubmans Rally Championship
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...
