Jo Jesty U.S. Available View Profile Ask A Question View Past Answers	Knowledgeability 9.36 Clarity of Response 9.91 Timeliness 9.73 Politeness 10.0 Total Questions 75	Most detailed about Austin Healeys but also MGs (A,B,C), old Minis, old Volvos: they share SU carbs, Lucas (Prince of Darkness!) ignition, Girling brakes & shocks. Some things shared with TRs too, but I don't know so much about them. Can advise the semi-neophyte on the basics of keeping things running, especially tuning ignition and carbs; but no rebuilding engines or transmissions; no frame or bodywork. General date range: late 50s to 70s (not so good about cars with emission controls, electronics). No valuation experience at all.
