When I saw it I was thinking more along the lines of a Sopwith Camel. Keep an eye out for a used Aeronca Champ in case the Clunkbucket CEO has to travel by air.

Lovely car. Examples like this make the death of MG even more tragic.
(Yes, MG is still around but nothing of it’s former self.)

I am intrigued by the mere possibility that bungee cords are an improvement, rather than just something that seemed like a good idea after too many beers.

I’m not sure why this suspension material is such a surprise to you gasmo guros, or why this lovely little MG Special makes the Clunkbucket list. Every Piper “Cub” and every Aeronca “Champ” that has ever flown relies on these exact elastic cords for extremely hard landings. There is a long list of other cars, motorcycles and planes similarly equipped. Not everything comes with coil-over-shocks…
