OK, I'll bite....for some time I've enjoyed my 64 B roadster more with the top
up rather than down...that is driving and looking at! I have a robbins top
but I just like the idea of the enclosed car both in looks and functionality.
I like the looks of an A coupe with the bigger B engine. Passed one up in No.
cailifornia a couple of years ago...needed total restoration (but was all
there and running!) and could have got it for less than 2K. Think it was a 59
coupe with a 5main B engine(out of a 68 B or something?). However, if I had to
have a stock car, I would have the following in order of preference:
1. MGA Coupe (preferably with the 1600 or 1622 motor; not a 1500)
2. MGB ( 67 or before only!)
3. MGB roadster (MK 1 only)
4. MGA roadster
In terms of aesthetics, the A coupe has the best lines of all 4 cars.
Light your matches!
