 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds Quote: Alfa flat four and Lotus running gear ...hence not actually an MGF 'chassis' then.

It would've been built long before they started to crack down - IIRC, it was in Cars & Car Conversions in the '80s, on an Alfa flat four and Lotus running gear - and certainly way before the introduction of historic vehicle tax. Ah! That makes sense. Wouldn't happen today  (And, fair point, Lenny!)

WTF!?! Has it pissed itself?  "Dans son jus" means something along the lines of "It is what it is, and not a lot more". Basically, don't expect anything you can drive home... and don't moan when it turns out to be worse than you thought from the photos. It's probably been dragged out of a barn, maybe dusted off, and that's about your lot. The seller's setting your expectations fairly low. Ah, thanks for that explanation  Was just something "lost in translation."

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds Somewhat more literally - it describes a decaying object with the juices of life seeping away like a dead mouse or a rotting apple!

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds It means original cars not worked on (modified), maybe a bit rough. Like Roy's translation
