Yeah, I didn't say anything about it handling well, hehe. Look at the tires on it first off.
It would be a cool car to take to those classic car meets in Sterling or to pimp through Georgetown or something on a nice day.

Datsun's without rust is Miata's without gay. Es emposible.
Two feet.

the purchase of any Datsun should coincide with purchase of a welder and enrollment in a welding class. I still want one though.
I also have felt the draw toward a few old British cars, but then I punch myself and remember that it would quickly become a lawn ornament.

The chances of it being anything else are slim to none, really.

Except when you add the "RJ always has busted shit" factor.

BTW, my uncle has 2 MGBs - ones a parts car and the other still runs. I could give you his number if interested - he could probably tell you what to expect. Think he has had them for 15 years or so.

i think if you're really hell bent on getting an MG (i agree that a datsun roadster is better, especially as an investment instead of a money pit) i think it would be wise to keep up what you're doing with looking at well restored or taken care of examples. theres just so much that can go wrong with that car.
