I totally agree with you Bob, that is what I am after. I'm really not a fan of the black rubber bumper, so if I end up with one, its a chrome bumper conversion for sure.

The wife and I looked at a 1969 MGB today, the photos made the car look pristine, but in real life the car was quite tatty, rust in the usual places. The owner wanted £4,500, but I managed to knock the price down to £3,500, but still I wasn't happy, it just didn't feel right, so we walked away... I am so gutted, as it was tartan red.

As for one car over the other---How wide are your shoulders as the Mg Midget really is TINY.
Bit like the F and TF's Jon, the B we looked at today had the usual hole in the boot floor, I can see why so many end up having new floor-pans welded.

The midgets definitely have the correct name, they don't seem to have room even for the accelerator pedal...
