There’s some speculation about the powerplant, but rest assured it’s not some VW Beetle concoction. No, the engine is up front where it belongs, and it sure looks like a 2.3 liter 4-cylinder, which was a popular engine for these types of builds back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a tidy installation, with good service access and decent workmanship throughout. There’s an upgraded carburetor, a powerful alternator, and tidy wiring, all of which suggest this was a car built to drive, and we have to admit that it has a nice little bark when you turn the key and fire it up. It’s backed by a proper manual gearbox, while the front suspension offers rack-and-pinion steering and a rather sophisticated multi-link setup lives out back. The exhaust has a grumble that wouldn’t be out of place on a real TD and we’ll admit that those fat whitewall radials are a lot grippier than the MG’s skinny bias-plys.
