...but if you ask me, I don't know how the hell he can ...
The line between restored and legitimately fixed is very wide with MGBs. Very easy cars to wrench on, plethora of aftermarket parts, committed and helpful enthusiast base - as long as the unibody shell isn't too badly rusted, its is quite easy to get a reliable runner (legitimately fixed). As for the window dressing, making it really shiny and pretty (restored), that's just an application of time and money.

I couldn't find a movie still, but conversely - did you know they made a diecast of this thing?

@mytdawg: Including colors and options!
Its been far too long since I've been reading and not sharing, but this QOTD reminded me of one of my proudest moments:

I don't think this looks like an E30.
It's more like a K-Car convertible without the parts accessibility. It just has no catchet for me, would I ever drive it? Nope, so its CP for me.
For what its worth, if any Jalops are interested, I can go check it out for you to see if the flight up to Saskatchewan is worth it.
Summer in Saskatoon is beautiful - make a vacation out of it!

Check out the $17K paint upgrade on my $152K Land Rover.
Hyundai - if you are reading this thread (which I'm suspecting you are) please note my following requests:
It must be convertible
It should have removable doors
It must not have a slushbox
It should have a solid front axle (I know, wishful thinking)
Please note, there is a distinction between my musts and shoulds.
That is all.
@clinto: When Murilee was relegated to Weekend Duty - he won COTD with a simple "I'm still here"... little throwback to that day. Cheers!
@Deartháir II: Seconded.
@clinto: He's still here. ;-)
Geo Metro / Suzuki Swift. It's either got to be 3 or 8.
You know, with the risk of incurring the wrath of the commentariat... the website is pretty clear that he isn't targeting the bikini-clad barista shops...
"...local lewd "Adult" barista stands (Not Stands where baristas wear bikinis)..."
Just saying.

@Leeeeena a Jalopchick: Why did you do that to us? Why?
The SEMA Prius makes my eyes hurt.
When I was 17 and threw a rod in my first car (1961 Austin Cambridge) I sold it for $50.
It was towed away by an Austin Cambridge Station Wagon for a British enthusiast's parts bin.
As I watched the car make the u-turn to head off my street, I knew I had made a terrible mistake. I couldn't watch it go down the road.
Nine years of lament later, on a fluke meeting with a neighbor going to check out a yard with old British cars, I bought the car back from the gent's estate.
The price? $50, including the white station wagon that towed it away.
Still brings a tear to my eye.
@madcows: mm mm mma mad to tha bone:
You mean your daily driver doesn't have a fully hinged rear cover and gull wing doors?
Thanks Elhigh for the history lesson. I came thiiiis close to buying an old 8N, but ended up with a much newer and functional grey market Kubota.In Western Canada there really is only one color though - Green./ducks
