1971 MG B 1.8 from North America

Summary:

A practical classic

Faults:

The car immediately needed a master cylinder. I refurbised the interior, which was very easy work. The rust places to be aware of are the inner rocker panels, floorboards, and the area underneath the front fenders. However, it is easy to get replacement parts, and I had a body shop replace these and repaint the car.

General Comments:

I have wanted to own one of these cars since I was a kid, and one day I just got one. They are not expensive cars to buy.

Despite their reputation, this car did not have electrical problems, and it has been relatively simple and easy to work on.

It is very easy to get parts, even body parts, for these cars.

A fun summer car, but not smooth and quiet as a modern car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
