1969 MG C review from North America
"It was interesting but would not do over again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump-went through 3
Synchromesh on transmission
Fuel leaking from SU Carbs.
General comments?
For its day it was distinctive and ran very smoothly
It was hot in the summer, since the leather seats did not breathe
When the fuel pump would go, it became hairy in traffic (it would just die)
