What a timely post: my neighbor up the hill just rolled her AHealy MkIV Sprite down to my driveway for a "quick" SU carb. lookover. HA HA.

But I am glad to have cut my teeth on several British cars in my past: a '69 MGB, a '74 TR6. As I looked over the tiny, little, cute 1275 four-pot in the bay of the Sprite, I was reminded how practical the English are to have so cleanly tranferred the agrarian engine to a sports car. The expectation was ALWAYS that you perform your own servicing, just as you do in the field or in the barn. So to with the English cars, by and large. I learned so much wrenching these cars and British motorcycles that I feel confident approaching the Pcar.
