MG MGB

I have had my MGB BT for some 4 years now. and I havent regretted it, and it's been reasonably trouble free (a broken connector under the bonnet meant that it didnt start, and a stone broke the radiator). They are fantastic cars, but look out for: Dodgy repairs and filler. The sills are the places to look for, lift up the mats in the footwells and see if you can see daylight! Lift the rubber around the door frame at the bottom, how many thicknesses of metal can you see? more than 3 means a dodgy repair. Any structural rust means costly repairs, but if there is some bubbling at the seams that join the wings to the scuttle, dont worry. ...  Read the complete review

I am lucky or should I say was and now I am not so lucky. After a write-off in my previous car I decided not to buy a modern car and found a restored MGBGT for the same price. 1973 Chrome bumper model and I was hooked. They may be old, noisy, cold, expensive to run, prone to breaking down but there is little on the road with as much poise, grace, out and out damn good lucks, fun to drive, fairly reliable if kept serviced and individual. 'Meggy' as we called her ran me to work day in day out with very few hiccups. In sun and snow, started first time every time, except when returning from holiday. For some reaon she never wanted to come home. ...  Read the complete review

Three years ago I was driving around in a company Vectra. It was nice and warm, easy enough to drive, no trouble to look after, and it was indistinguishable from any other car on the road at all. I decided to make up for this by going to the other end of the scale and buying myself an MG BGT. There are several choices of what type of classic MG to get. The first one is Chrome Bumper or Rubber Bumper. The rubber bumper cars were altered for the American market to make them safer. Unfortunately in the process they ruined the handling and the appearance. The only advantage is that they are newer and so may have less faults. The chrome bumper ...  Read the complete review

My wife Purchased our 1967 MGB Roadster 6 years ago as an every day car(and our only car at the time).We went everyware in it from North Wales to the west coast of scotland,as well as her commuting 20 miles a day in sun,rain and snow for 4 years. The car replaced a 3 year old comfy,dry & warm'euro box' My wifes dad thought we were potty, as did many of our frends, but you don't get admireing glances like this in a modern car. After 4 years of every day use it did take its toll and I decided to take the car off the road and restore it.This included a full bare metal respray,some welding,all suspension rebuilt,naw brakes which included fitment of a ...  Read the complete review

I have been the proud and happy owner of an MG V8 roadster now for 3 years.Prior to this I owned 2 standard MG's. The V8 is based on the 3500cc rover SD1 engine that has been around for many years. developing around 140 bhp in its basic form the car is capable of 0-60 in around 7 seconds. Mine has a profiled camshaft and has been "tweaked" a little and generates over 175bhp which is enough to see off most modern sports cars. They also do not offer the loverly rumble and roar that a V8 can generate when you put your foot down. If open top motoring is not for you then the GT version( officially produced by MG) will provide fast,comfey ...  Read the complete review
