Re: Need To Know
Alvin,
I can't add much to what Clifton has already said. While there are people who use MGB's as their daily transportation, it isn't for gas mileage - its for the joy of driving the car AND working on the car. If you have a 30 year old car, you're going to have to work on it, or have PLENTY of money to pay someone else to work on it.
If you still think you're interested, you might want find a local MGB club member to take a look at it. Reliability is really dependant on maintenance. Also, MG's, like any other old car, are prone to rust - and since their structural integrity is based on parts that rust, you need to be sure that the car is relatively rust free, or you're going to spend a lot more money taking care of the rust. Someone familiar with them can tell quickly if rust is an issue.
I don't want to discourage you from buying an MGB - I have one, and I love it - but I have an F150 that I drive every day.
Let us know what you decide.
John
