I'll add this little note to this entry.
Many years ago, when my husband was in Puerto Rico his MG-TD needed a new crankshaft. Flying one in from upstate New York was really extravagant, but necessary, so when it arrived he cleaned up the old one and declared it to be "a hunk of sculpture" and placed it on a pedestal. When he returned to the states, we met, fittingly, at an MG Car Club meeting (I drove an MG-TF), and married.
I agreed that this crankshaft was indeed a Hunk of Sculpture and it has graced a series of living rooms ever since.
Presently it holds up its half of several feet of art books, as a bookend.
