Re: EBay Finds
So the 84/95 hp engine is replaced with a 40 hp one, the weight distribution will probably be all to cock and it's unclear to me where the engine air is coming from. There seems to be electric fans so I assume that there's a big hole in the rear bulkhead to let it through.
Certainly a top 5 as you say.

Re: EBay Finds
Why?
That doesn't make any sense at all.
It's like saying mixing beef and custard is a perfect meal because you like both of them when eaten separately.

Re: EBay Finds
I hate the aircooled VW rubbish and that abomination is completely pointless. The only advantage it has over the original MGB is it is going to be more reliable. 2 awfuls cars all wrapped up in one package, why would anyone do that.

Re: EBay Finds
I went to a show a few years ago and somebody had built a Beetle/Allegro estate in the same vein as that MGB/VW. I think the phrase that comes to mind is 'just because you can doesn't mean you should'.
