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.
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.
From the description of the problems the car had this MGB was obviously a poor example not only of the marque but of any car. All of these things, however, should have been obvious to the reviewer at the time of purchase. Of course it lacked performance - this was obviously a sick car.
A bit more detail of what was done to rectify (or attempt to rectify) the problems would let people know if the car (make/model/year) itself was poor or just this car, and whether or not repairs to all the problems was feasible, expensive or not, and/or effective.
A poor "review" of one of the last years of this classic marque, especially when the question of which transmission is answered as "don't know"???
And to compare it (performance wise, especially) to the reviewer's previous Triumph Stag is a little silly.
