I'd try a bit of elbow grease before buying a headlight restoration kit.
Mine were yellow and rough to the touch, but a good rub with some G3 compound followed by a finer one brought them up to this -

I had some success with TurtleWax headlight restorer, about £8 from Halfords.

Thank you all for all your info thus far. It looks like I have my weekend job planned. I have just had another look at the bumper. I think it is the same colour as the rest of the body work. Would the colour change/fade over time? If I knew in advance that I was going to become this "obsessed" I should of waited for something a bit neater. I am not complaining as I love it already. It gives me something to do I suppose. A good friend of mine has 3 BRM's and I never really understood his obsession until now!

The day will come when you park it and look back as you walk away

Then you're hooked

BTW, pop the VIN in here and you'll get the car's birthday http://www.mg-rover.info/get_info.htm

I have been doing that already. I also sit in my front room and look at it through the window!

Shame really. You should have been warned in advance. You realise that there is no going back now? Welcome to the voyeur club.
