I have had little time to poke around on the BGT I'm evaluating, but I have a bit more info. If you recall, the timing seemed way odd. The car starts easily, runs very well above 2000 rpm, but the id

RayYou have just discovered the greatest joy of owning a spridget. Everything that I have ever driven steers like a truck compared to my midget. And that includes the B I had, and the C I have. From

Mostly true, but a B should not be far behind. I did recently get to take a Caterham 7 for a spin around an auto-x course- It even made my very tight race preped Bugeye feel like a Buick! You just ha

Heavens, you cc'd the MG list. I bet you hear from a lot of people about this. But I have to say, I drove Kermit to work yesterday after a couple of days of taking the B. Have you ever strapped weigh

The steering on MGBs is generally pretty heavy, considering how much they weigh, and especially compared to other Brit sports cars. The steering on my Healey 3000 is much lighter than my GT. Then ag

The 18V timing works out very close to the description you gave. Full vacuum advance will pull it to 9:30 or 10:00. I think this is possible but unlikely (to slip so far). Nope. Top Dead Center is To

Well, they are not exactly boy racer tires; the owner took them off his Toyota after they were no longer good enough for it. I put 1 000 (octal) squirts of oil in the rack, as the manual specifies. A

Snip, snip Point #1; I would think so, in comparison with Kermit. How much shorter is Kermit's wheelbase? And how do the r&p gear ratios compare? rod more so, IMO. The column is actually repairable.
