dollywobbler Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Oh my lovin' the Crown!MG Midget has rubber bumpers and was made by BL, so easily qualifies as Shite! (though I've driven one myself and despite the Triumph engine, which isn't exactly zingy, they are huge fun for a little car). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Anyone who's owned a Crown Custom Estate is a top geezer in my book! Not so sure about the Midget though but each to their own & all that Welcome to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 wow. I was half expecting the front end to have rotted off it :)Interesting to see how the garage has deteriorated over 16+ years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
