As an owner of 2 MGB-GTs (and former owner of a 65B and 71BGT), I would
take a bit of a different approach on this answer. I would take a harder
look at the midget if I lived in the south or southwest where the weather
was hot and dry most of the year. And if the driving was more short
distances. As mentioned before, the BGT can be an oven during the sunny
summer months.
I think, too, that location would dictate the demand and resale value.
During the short summer months here in Montana, I miss having a roadster.
But the hardtop GT sure is nice the other ten months. :)
