- BoxOfRain 3y agoI remember Jeremy Clarkson going there once and talking about this 1950s MG MGA but when he started it there was a Lada engine inside.
- noselasd 3y agoThose cars are simple enough that easy repairs can be done by anyone with a bit of skill and standard tools. In addition a lot of the parts that wear out can be manufactured locally with a manual lathe/milling machine/welding, or simply be replaced with a similar enough part that you make fit with a bit of elbow grease.
