After a 4 year project documented on this website the ONE OF MG Midget Cobra is ready for some young enthusiast to drive and show this unique creation of my dream for years. I'm 73 and have never planned to drive or show this little rocket ship, only to enjoy the building process in my leisure time of retirement. I have built many many cars for customers the last 50 years but this is my first and only project for myself. $30K gets you a 40,000 mile rust free Arizona born and raised original body/chassis.

Too much for me to spend on ANYTHING, but love to see some photos of what you did with the 5.0. Is it as nice as the outside of the car?

Looks like you put a TON of work into that ride!  Good luck on the sale; certainly looks like top notch work.

That engine's just as cool as the rest of the car. LOVE that massive "blower belt."

Is that an MSD distributor, looks right at home. And the coil box tucked right in. SO many folks mount those to the inner fender well then have to deal with overly the long coil wire.

Your engine is as tight and tidy as it comes, and somehow looks like it was born there, VERY nice work ! !
