1. Group 26 battery. Very common. Recommend the brands with the built-in
handle.
2. Oh boy. You wouldn't believe the stuff that flies around re the towing
question. One fact: don't tow a wire wheel car backwards. For further
enlightenment/arguments, see...
3. ...the list archive, with search engine, at
<http://www.listquest.com/lq/search.html?ln=mgs>. Suggest entering
"towing" and seeing what turns up. One list member is a pro tow truck
driver so there is some bona fide advice.
Have fun!
Mark and Pamela had this to say:
>Hello to all on the list. My name is Mark, and Im the proud new owner
>of a 73 B. I havent picked it up yet, but hope to do that very very
>very soon. I live in Mississauga, ON, and have loved the cars forever,
>as my father has a Austin Healey 3000 mkII, and my uncle has a 74MGB.
>Cant wait to meet some of you on the road or wherever.
>Question one for today is does anyone have the details on which 12volt
>battery i need, (as it is already converted from needing the 2 six volt
>battteries), and where i might be able to get a 12volt to fit in the
>6volt compartment. Ive heard that Canadian Tire has them.
>Question two for today, is does anyone have any towing advice. I have
>to tow it about 150km, and want to do it as inexpensively as possible,
>and i dont have a tow hitch on my car......... I looked into a towing
>service, but it may run me around $200-300 ....... just dont want to
>waste that kinda cash.........
>Thanks in advance, and Im sure you will hear from me soon again!

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
