I am surprised to see that it is still for sale, it looks a very nice car which I would have expected to attract a lot of interest.
Just noticed that the front jacking point is missing at the bottom of the inner wing, not that I would ever use it.

Maybe some more information, some pictures from the side-valve engine and inside the car?

Ok - will organise some more detailed photos and post this week. The car is stored in a workshop at an old cotton mill a few miles from where I live so it will probably be Wednesday before I can do this. Hope that's ok. If you have any particular questions in the meantime though, please feel free to phone me on 01204 668630 and I'll do my best to answer.

Interesting - I didn't realise that there should be one there! I think that the car has had a very thorough rebuild maybe 20 years ago, the chassis legs look very very good indeed and may have been replaced at this time. Maybe this is when the jacking point vanished. Certaily I think that it has had new wings, though whoever made them they are really heavy gauge steel - they sound so much more solid than the wings on the '68 car that I've recently bought. If I had more space and time, I'd keep it - but I haven't, so it's got to find a new home.

Mike,
do you have pictures from this jacking point on the correct place?
I am interested, because this one looks the same as my own MM...

Do you mean this jacking point, the small rectangle of Metal ?
