SiC Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Funny that this is back up because it came up in conversation today. Does anyone know what happened to Dave's cars?Tayne will know for sure as he works with Dave's sister. Iirc the French plated Ranger would never have been able to be sold due to issues with French paperwork. MGF was rusty and knackered - Dave was going to scrap it once the test was up. I think the Panda the family were going to bring it back to the UK. Metro was unfortunately what he met his demise in. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Oh FFS, I'd finally got used to his passing but didn't realise how much I missed his posts until now. beko1987 and tapir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Asch Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 What a great story. Hope to meet you sometime on your way south. I just been given an F which I will be converting. Sadly a '96 model but the previous owner had passed the CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly a '96 model but the previous owner had passed the CT. Unfortunately Dave is no longer with us, he passed away last year. I'm sure he'll be happy (and/or a little bit bemused!) that someone else is finding his intricate instructions on how to convert an MGF to LHD useful.

beko1987 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Tbh their probably one of the more comprehensive how to guides! Find an Mg fan club guide for the process, then read daves in tandem for the actual job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
