Up for auction is a genuine Smiths dash mounted dual water temperature and oil pressure gauge assembly recently salvaged from 1969 MG Midget.  Our parts catalogs indicate proper application from 1959 to late 1974 MG Midget and Austin Healey Sprite.  This Smiths dual gauge is in excellent overall condition - the chrome bezel is very nice and shiny with only minor pitting and some light scratches.  We tested the gauge by immersing the temperature probe in hot water and the gauge needle deflects properly and holds steady.  See photos for condition of case.  The numbers on the face of the gauge are GD 1307/01.  Please email us if you have any questions.

E85 makes inroads on cost and availability

Wed, 23 Dec 2009

Three years ago, we embarked on a Midwest road trip in search of what was then the Holy Grail of fuel: E85.

It will make its North American debut at the New York auto show in April.

In 1962, Mercedes-Benz launched a research program to investigate the development of the Wankel rotary engine and its potential both on the road and track. While the early mule wasn't a looker, the prototype's design continued to evolve until a public unveiling of the C111-I concept, designed by Bruno Sacco, at the 1969 Frankfurt motor show. The coupé may have looked like the systematic further development of the Sport Light models from the ‘50s with its gullwing doors, but it wasn't a design study for a new SL.
