I've had my 72 for almost a year now, over 7000 (almost 8k now) miles of daily driving! Work, school, sports, whatever I'm doing I've been taking it. Had some problems, like fitting some objects or traveling with friends, but all in all, it's been an experience I wouldn't trade for anything else. I think I'm one of the only people in Marietta crazy enough to daily an unrestored vintage car!
Once my midget is restored (been a little project of mine) It'll (the midget) be a weekend car for backroads.
Of course, I have to post a photo from when I went up to Lanier.
I too have a small cousin to the Midget, a 1960 AH Sprite, Bugeye or Frogeye depending on what side of the pond you are from. Once my 81 is painted it will be my daily driver again...been too long without it....
Yes I do daily drive my C3. You own an MG Midget? I do too, mine's also currently awaiting reassembly after I tore it down and painted it.
Yeah! I got it as a first project car, now headed to be a racecar. I still need to finish prepping it for paint and put the rollbar in, but it’s coming along.
A little rough as of right now, but mechanically it’s perfectly sound, I love the little car!

Awesome! My wife and I had an accident in mine a few years ago and I've gradually been preparing the replacement shell in between working on and driving the Corvette. The fun factor in driving a Spridget can't be beat in my opinion.

With you on a 72 as a daily driver. Upgrades to overdrive, improving A/C etc. Not practical but a flashback in a time capsule that puts me back in my 20’s every time I get in it
I use my 68 as much as possible but issue with fuel injection is keeping it in garage at the moment. But on the theme of British cars I am almost done with my 62 sp 250 Daimler. The little hemi was long gone when my dad bought it in the 70’s. So in went the Chevy motor.

Can’t say mines a flashback, for me it’s attempting to experience times I was never alive in.
That said, I drove a 55 Chevy today that was a customer’s car. I no longer wish to drive a 55 Chevy again, not my cup of tea.
Dirty dalton...yea the Daimler was my dads love and he was a huge GS Warriors fan. I painted it for him before he passed away. It has been a great project.
I have a 1975 that was fully restored before I bought it 4 years ago. I daily drive it, outside of snow. It's my work vehicle, my kid transport, grocery shopper/errands. You name it I drive it there. It's been a great experience and people love it. Had a guy tell me yesterday that he used to have one just like mine and regrets selling it 20 years ago. Remember 'A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships were built for.' Keep on trucking!
