My old MG TF has now been restored to a fully working condition. Robin has been working on it for a month, and has been installing a K series engine from a wrecked MGF which he'd inherited from a friend. He had the MGF transported over from the UK, and it took about 3 weeks to complete the transfer. It is 120 bhp, rather than the 135bhp of the original, but that will suffice. He is due to have the CT inspection (the French equivalent of the British MOT) on Wednesday, and, if successful we will be able to complete the full legal transfer of the car's ownership. In France an individual is not allowed to scrap a car.
So here is a photo of the old and new cars side by side. We will be able to open a branch of the MG Owners' Club in Lavausseau. Robin also has a MGB, so we'll be able to get it started in style.

And this time, don't forget to check your water level frequently(and indeed your oil/fluid levels generally). It appears that the MGTF suffers from having those long water pipes from front rad to mid-engine.
