I was driving home from the hospital about 2 weeks ago, and there in a used lot off on the left was a prime condition green MGB. Beautiful car. If I had stopped the wife would have killed me....I would not have walked away. LOL.
Beautiful car, but most likely if you had bought it, it would have spent a lot of time up on blocks. I don't think I was ever able to drive my MGA more than a hundred miles before something broke on it. Water pump, generator, shocks, plugs, hoses, coil, valves... Every week something. And it takes a genius to tune the carburetors. I tried once and regretted it. But I learned a lot about car repair.
Eventually I gave up and bought a 63 Bug. It had the beefed up 1300 CC engine!!! I was out of high school by then and it was more important to actually arrive at a destination than to look cool getting there.
