* There’s plenty of operational quarter-scale engines out there, but most of them are scale versions of the small-block Chevrolet V-8, so Bob Finlay’s 3/10-scale Crosley four-cylinder is a bit unique. He’s apparently been working on it for...

Our West Coast Associate Editor Jeff Koch had the right idea: Story format and size prevents driving impression, post them on our blog.

British Motor Heritage Limited has been welding together new MGB bodyshells since 1988, which means they’ve now been at it longer than M.G. had the car in production.
