The main thing to go wrong with Austins Rovers is oil seals, they must have made them out of rice paper.
Also rust is a problem especially in Britain. Be careful to check everywhere underneath if you're considering one of these cars otherwise you're in for an expensive MOT/Roadworthy if it gets through at all.
This is not really an MG, more of a pretend one but it does have the indestructable 1275cc modified A series motor which dates back to the original Mini Coopers. The performance is better with the Turbo models but the standard MG is more economical.
Overall not bad, much better than a standard Metro.
I have a 998cc 46bhp version, and it is surprisingly nippy around town, so the 1275cc 62bhp must be even better!
