    Ain’t it kinda unique?
    And heck, at least the back comes from Swiss watchmakers, maybe the whole watch does too.

    It’s seemingly old, and mechanical, as in wind up, not an auto or quartz watch.
    A quirky watch for when I’m driving Noddy. Hell ya.. even matches the spokes on her steering wheel.
    Outstanding!

    Well with a frame off restoration you probably could.

    At our age the problem is that they don't make spare parts anymore.........

    Well, fortunately, just like a Model A, models our age can still run minus a few parts.

    With my luck, it’d be the Humpty Dumpty restoration shop that did the work on me.
    I’ve already been rebuilt once. That’s enough.

    The MG has been rebuilt at least one time before you got it.

    We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better, than he was. Better, stronger, faster...

    Great vintage clip. Love the scene where the factory floor shows the same drips as mine.
    And the way they play inthe alps, awesome stuff.
