I don't own an MGB, but a friend of mine bought a '67 that had been stored in
someone's yard under a cover for 20 years! It runs beautifully! Very
strong-only needs a bit of new paint and a new hood (top). I was really
impressed. We took it on a drive through our little coastal mountains here-and
behaved like a champ! I was so impressed that I wanted to buy it from him when
he returned to England and put it back in storage! (Proper storage this time.)
If it were in this sort of condition, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one! (And I'm
the 'Spitfire Girl! ;-) )
