1978 MG B review from UK and Ireland
"Boring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been a very unreliable. The engine, which has all the charm of a J4 van's engine repeatedly, pinked and spluttered.
Couldnt get the gearbox into first and the diff whined. Electric's! Don't talk to me about Lucas.
When I wasn't starting it by rolling down a hill I was replacing fuses.
General comments?
Real dissapointment. Why did I part with bluey my trusty Triumph Stag???
The engine in the MGB has about as much go as a man riding a bike with no legs.
