  The engine was a bit different than the one used in the Audi 100 C2. Porsche constructed a new cylinder head for the 924 and added a K-Jettronic fuel injection, resulting in 125 HP instead of 115 in the Audi 100. The bad 924 engine reputation in the US came from an initial, mandatory 'Air Injector Reactor (AIR)' or 'Smog Pump', which reduced the US power output from 125 to 95 HP. Half a year later Porsche introduced a catalytic converter in the US 924, which pushed the power up to 110 HP. But it was still considerably less than the non-cat 125 HP of the European models.

  In 1971 my driving instructor was ill so I drove myself to the test centre in my father's Austin Hampshire. The examiner was such a short ars that he couldn't see over the dashboard, as such I undeservedly passed.

  My father purchased a 1933 Morris in 1962. He paid £15.00 for it because the previous owner had just purchased four months road tax so it was £10 for the car and £5 to cover the road tax. In those days when taxing a car you could tax it for either 12 months or four months. he kept it for a couple of years and part exchanged it for a 3 yr old Austin A35 Van.

  Only a couple of young kids would miss the real facts concerning this car. The TC, followed by the TD and the TF, were the "original " sports cars for the USA market. They were brought over here (US)by young soldiers following the 2nd WW., and were rapidly accepted by the American public, thus the beginning of the "sports car" craze in America. That led (in about 1953) to the Chevy Corvette, followed by the Ford Tbird, followed by many others. MG sports cars led the way boys!

  My uncle had one of these. It was a pretty car but the cooling system was under sized. It would overheat idling in traffic.

  Double De-Clutch.....or if you are a well experienced manual driver one could change gear without using the clutch by judging the right revs and slipping into gear BUT do not try it without someone who is experienced with you. I am 87

  That steering wheel is horribly not original. Why would you change the original which is a distinctive beautiful feature of the original design. Beautiful car and colour though.

  Would it be kinder to the gearbox to not use the clutch for changing gear. The engine will slow it down quicker to find the right speed for the next gear. It definitely works with with lorry lorries that have constant mesh or non synchro.

  I had one, Reg no. started as BOY***. I sold it for £120 in 1966. A group of us at teachers trading college in Twickenham had MGs. There was an F type six cylinder, a TA and a TB. We spent more time messing about with the leaky vertical dynamo felt seal, trying to nance the SU carbs and adjusting the brakes. My PB was a light blue but I changed it to BRR. I’ve often wondered if it’s still about. So much regret selling it for a morris minor convertible. 1

  Hey guys, I’ve just discovered your channel and my dad and I have spent all afternoon looking over your videos. Well done, great stuff. But why no newer videos. I know there’s not been a million views yet, but you’re both very natural and a great team and for sure success will come in time. Have you any plans to do more videos?

  Yeah,go on guys......hurt me some more. I was given a TF as a 21st present & had it for 11yrs. Had enjoyable & riotous times in my much-missed MG. Sold it for a house deposit after marriage.2 kids,adulterous wife,sold house later.......the thing that hurts most is the empty MG garage. You can't drive memories.......you drive to make memories.

  Modern cars are so remote from the real joy of mechanical partnership that any dolt can drive one......BUT. ........to have that sense of achievement in coaxing the best out of your car & also yourself you end up with a joyous feeling of mutual pleasure. You feel your car respond to being driven correctly & you smile broadly every time you know you've got it right. Same box auto-everything evs' just have no soul......they don't even sound like a real car should.

  Double declutch, double declutch, double declutch. Once learned it becomes second nature. You can even learn how to drive without a clutch altogether.

  Great upload!!! As you say, get used to it... they are magnificent. Sooooo many people sported & enjoyed them... Keep the spirit alive. Many thanks!!! Busy on mine ('34) & yes I also have to learn how to shift it; your enthusiasm is brilliant! PS, MG PB a car to experience the 30s, not 'speed' just buy an P911 for that, but remarkably, even that one you have to learn(!!) how to drive, despite its sync!! But once you have learned that, the 80s feel, you do appreciate the 30s again more and more.. at lower speed.... its called Petrol Addiction, a lovely CBD, and sorry I don't want to be cured....

  Alvis have been back since 2013. You should check out their “Continuation” series; hand built engines, hand coach built. Quite a bit more to buy than the beauty you’re driving in this, but a brand new car which will last at least as long as the originals - probably longer.
