You can't do better than get hold of a copy of Lyndsay Porter's 'Guide to
Purchase and DIY Restoration oif the MGB' - it does exactly what it says on
the cover - reissued as 'The MGB Restoration Manual'. It majors on
bodywork, which is by far the most important area to consider when buying a
B. It has a checklist of areas to look at and what to look for, and a guide
price of how much each costs to put right. I used this to buy both my Bs
and in both cases ended up with slightly better than expected.
