MG Jan Bul v1.0 - The Triple-M Register

J3603
By Barry Foster
Early in October, I flew out to Cape Town for five weeks. My task was
to build Rodney Green’s J2, which was at Harp Restorations in Cape
Town.
I had been sent a disc of photos of the car, so had worked out what
needed to be done, and what was missing. I travelled with a large
package of parts as Excess baggage!
I had previously built the engine and gearbox in the UK, and freighted
it out beforehand, complete with a new body and much panelwork.
By the time I had left, the mechanics had been done, the supercharger
fitted, the body and panelwork fitted and painted. The trim had been
done and the electrics almost finished-a faulty ammeter and regulator
holding things up. The ignition and mixture had been set up so that the
engine could start and run.
Graham and Max, who had helped me, along with the painters and
trimmer, were left to finish off a few details to complete the car.
Rodney intends to use the car in South African motorsports events.
He also has an MGA twin cam, an XPAG special and an MGB with
which he came 14th in the last SPA 6-Hour race, so I know Rodney
will use the car properly.
