Nice car - but I think you will prefer the fuel economy of the Minor!

Very nice! I actually prefer the rubber bumper Bs, they are superb for daily use. I will be glad to get mine back on the road, but there is plenty of work to do first! :(

Just how many people on here have got a Moggie and an MGB? We must be addicted to tinkering!

We must be! They are similar in many ways, a proper English motor car.
