“and yes it runs and drives...”

That’s a rare commodity my friend......every one that I’ve ever seen was a pizza chit.

As I understand it, you can increase reliability by replacing components like starter and alternator with Japanese manufactured ones......is that true?

I had an orange (factory called it Tangerine) 1970 MG Midget. It was a good little car. Then later I had 1974 MG Midget in Tahitian blue and they had gone to a dual side draft carburetor and it was a real dud. I got rid of it and got a mustang.

When I was young I had a Triumph spitfire.

I had a lot of fun in that car.. :)

Good for you!

I still have my 1967 MGB roadster, which I bought new in 1966, sitting in my garage, too. It last ran about five years ago.

I sure need to bring it back to life :-).

Took my driver’s test in a convertible MGB. Parallel parking was a breeze :-)
