I had a very similar car to the one described, right down to the Leyland 
factory radio.  I sold that car for $3800 in 2001, and I regret it. It was a 
2nd owner car, I drove it regularly over the 2 years I owned it, including in 
heavy snowfall when my Miata (at the time) coldn't cut it. I would love another 
BGT.  No regrets, no real issues at all, and as practical an LBC as I've owned. 
 The current owner, a real NBT (Non- Bob type) drives it daily, and the day SHE 
bought it she drove it home from Blackhawk Farms in Northern Illinois to her 
home in Bowling Green, KY.  I sold it to make room in the garage and simplify 
the automotive situation, then bought another Midget 5 days later anyway. Not 
sure if the link will work if you're not logged on as me, but a picture of the 
sale (complete with 2 Peters, Egan and Caldwell):

  In the main photo album is the 1970 Midget that replaced it.

have an opinion on later MGBGT's, and in particular
nice looking '71 on eBay - #4596578302.

I'd love to read considered opinions on the car's
merits.
