We reached the pile of Power Aid bottles signifying the old squatter camp, and I knew the car was straight up the hill from there. About 5 mins later, my son spotted it in a rock pile. It must've been laying there for a long time, as it was virtually invisible.
After poking around it for over 30 mins, I found a sticker in the engine compartment that read 'complies with all applicable US emission standards for 1976 model year.'
So '76, it's also a 2-seater, and a convertible. We cleaned off the dash and took a shot. Surely we could identify it on the Internet by what we had found.
Soon we headed back, in the now pouring rain.
Looking back at the car.

After getting home, and some searching on Craigslist, I found it.
A 1976 MG British-made convertible roadster.

Where this car is would be quite an edeavour to retrieve, hence why I think it's been there for so long. That short little spur road off Memaloose Road sure has its share of things to see, good and bad.
