I'm afraid that I've become a bit of a hopeless MG addict.
After buying mine, I started craving more power...which lead me on the hunt for an MGC(since V8s weren't officially imported to the US). The MGC is a bit of a quirky model within the MG range-it's more or less a B body, but has the BMC "C" series engine. The "C" engine is a "B" engine with two extra cylinders on the front
. The MGC was sort of intended as a replacement for the Austin-Healey 3000, but it never quite caught on. They don't have the go-kart handling of an MGB thanks to the extra weight over the front, but do make up for the power that the B lacks. They also have a raised area at the front of the bonnet to clear the radiator, and a weird little bulge further up off center to clear one of the carburetors. The Cs have 15" wires(compared to the 14" wheels-either steel or wire-on the B) which opens up tire selection a whole lot.
In any case, there were 9000 MGCs made(compared to over 500,000 Bs) so they're a fair bit more scarce.
I'm "courting" one at the moment that has several things going for it. For one thing, it's a GT, which makes it a bit more practical for the cooler months that my B Tourer. It also has the rare automatic transmission, which was fitted to about 15% of MGCs. Part of me is deterred by this, but I like the scarcity of the auto. I've also been advised by other C owners that an auto in a GT is really a nice combination as it makes for a great "touring" car. I'm still mixed on it, but the owner has offered to throw in a spare manual overdrive transmission with the car so I could fit it if I really decided I disliked the auto.
In any case, I'm afraid it's truly a disease.
