[DeTomaso] NPC .. MG Migit

[Jack Donahue]

Bill - Been there with the aluminum block V-8, etc (in another MG) - the 13B rotary (a little tweaked) knocks the socks off the V-8, especially braking/cornering since it is so light and puts out 240 h.p. @ 9500. In fact, my logo for the car includes calling it an MG-13B. Don't really know the top speed as the speedo comes back around to Zero and it just gets too dangerous

> You might appreciate that I drove my MGB "off the boat" in 1965 - my first car. Got a job at BMC in San Francisco delivering new cars from ship to showroom since I used to go down to Fisherman's Wharf from Sacramento a lot. When I saw how the kids drove the brand new cars over all the RR tracks with wire wheels it killed me to think that some un-suspecting people were buying cars that were "abused" within the first mile "of life". So, I got a job delivering cars for BMC also - until MINE showed up. I drove it back to Sacto. with the "white shit" still covering it - they used to put a paste on them to protect from salt water. Still have it - a gem. With rotary power now. Quite a bitchin' little machine. The only hang-up that I had in all the restorations was the positive ground. No big deal, but cooked a few wires along the way forgetting that little fact. Still has the original BRG paint. FWIW

My brother has a 1974 MG Migit with a 1275 cc engine that he has had disassembled for over 10 years.   He is now starting to put it back together but can't remember how to hook up the wires to the starter.
