I have read quite on lot on the internet about the differences between the Rover and the MG. How they feel totally different although they are basically the same car.

I am curious as to how a facelift 75 compares to an early 75? I own a facelift, but I have never driven an early model or an MG for that matter.

I know the facelift was an attempt to make the car a bit more modern and hopefully sell better. From what I understand the facelift is a sort of model that falls somewhere between the two. I believe it has stiffer springs and a MG steering rack etc etc.

The contemporary is even heading more towards an MG, but what do they actually feel like to drive? Obviously this question is aimed at some of you that have driven them all.
