MG's are all rubbish Michel ? A lot of them are... but a well sorted A with Radial Tires , a front roll Bar, a brake booster, Electronic ignition and a B exhaust Manifold, is a very good car in it's age group and price range.
Performs , steers ( rack and pinion ) and stops as well as any car I have owned in it's era.......Just good basic engineering.
P.S. they don't over heat with a decent radiator and correct ign. Timing.
