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.



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...

Those were desirable cars in my younger days but they, like many others, didn't seem to have any rust proofing.--

The rust when it took hold seemed to accelerate faster than the cars.

I had friends with MGBs and one with an MG midget.

In the midget you sat shoulder firmly to shoulder. Fine if you were Gay.---
But OK if it was a voluptuous girl friend.---
