The MGB’s ( I Presume) that Tom & Ray were referring to can be reliable cars if sorted out correctly. Sports Car Magazine ran a team of three from Portland Oregon to Reno Nevada with no notable issues other than getting lost a few times along the way but they did spend a couple grand per car on aver…

I would suggest that if a person wants to get an MGB that they get a '71! That is the last year that they came standard equipped with the HS SU carb that had the separate float chamber. After that it was technically illegal to use anything other than the HIF with the built in float changer. These…

I’ve never had an MG, but I think my experience gives me a general idea of what to expect from an old English car. Any old MG is going to be functionally inferior to a Miata, no where near as rel…

I always wanted a 50’s T-series. Missed my shot at one in the early 70s ($500) and then moved on. I don’t think I’d cram my obese body with long legs into one today, although I’d be open to a nice replica. Maybe the '29 Mercedes, of which there seem to be a lot more replicas. Gotta find one nearby a…

Anne kansas city is a great place to be a MG owner. The national parts supplier is close by so you don’t have to pay shipping. There is many MG owners and a MG club. The easiest way to find one is craigslist and there are many midgets available. Although in most cases you have to do some major resto…
