Hi MG,
GREAT looking 70!
I like the look with the hardtop too.
I'll bet the hood opens!..... how about a few pictures of the engine compartment?
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Great looking car!! I like the steering wheel. Someone did good on that little mod. It looks like it belongs there. I did something similar to my 70 convertible.

Ok, tomorrow during the Super Sunday thing, I'll take some shots of the engine compartment. It's all pretty clean, typical 350 etc.

Beautimous !

Looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

Been thinking about putting that steering wheel on my `73 . . . might do it if I don't sell it.

Great quality photos too--thanks !

Thanks folks! Re: the steering wheel, I also have the original. This one came already on the car when I bought it. It seems easier to handle than the original one would be.

Ok, so here are some of the engine shots as requested:
