Albert,
While I understand some people get attracted to cars that would appear to
most as mundane and pedantic I cannot see why, if power is what you want,
you do not go the MGB V8 route. The C is a pig even if you have been
fortunate enough to have had it "sorted". It is in the same category as
the XK120 - heavy and ponderous. The MGB V8, by all accounts, has the
traditional MGB fits-like-a-glove driving and balanced handling but with
considerably more power.
