The Start 03/17/2001

We missed having the Plymouth Voyager,went through 2 of them,put 150K on each. After all the kids were on their respective ways,we figured we didn’t need a van anymore. But we missed having something to toss stuff into,running down to the hardware/lumber store and pickups didn’t seem the thing.

Bob T. in the MG Car Club has one of these,and it immediately became something to look for (he wouldn’t sell his). I been looking for a couple years and hadn’t seen one worth the money or they needed extensive restoration.

I was browsing the net one night and saw this one. I bought this through the net –03/17/01. Had it shipped here by McNutt Auto Transport. They did a great job –didn’t take long and let me know what was going on as it happened. I highly recommend them. It was $900 complete to ship it from Douglas Arizona to Rochester New York.

It had been converted to electric from it’s original 4 cylinder gas. I originally had plans of finding a 445 and putting a Buick 215 V8 in it (like my 1975 MGB) but thought I’d give the electric a chance.

It arrived last night and I’ve only driven it about half a mile –it’s weird –turn the key,there is no noise,it just starts

moving. leon@mgcarclub.com.
