I have owned this car since 2009. It is in excellent condition, everything including all gauges work properly and is a joy to drive. This car had been restored when I purchased it including a professional engine overhaul. The car has plenty of power even at this altitude (Colorado), and does not burn any oil. It had the original 4 speed transmission when I purchased it but I found it inadequate for mountain and interstate driving so I had it converted to a Nissan 280Z 5 speed by professional MG experts here. The fully syncro-meshed 5 speed made all the difference in drivability and now cruises easily at interstate speeds at less than 4000 rpm. This installation included a new clutch assembly and master cylinder as well. In addition, the engine was re-sealed at the time (2010) and other than an occasional drop on the garage floor there are no leaks. I have found no rust on the car. The brakes are in excellent condition (front disc included on the 1600).
Other than the transmission the car is basically original:
Good paint, new top, new tonneau cover, car cover, owners manual, shop manual, spare parts including un-restored side curtains. Jack and knock off hammer included with storage bag. Original wire wheels have been recently powder-coated and the Michelin radials have low mileage.
The interior is tan vinyl and shows some wear in the seat bottoms.
If you are looking for a dependable classic sports car that you can show and drive anywhere this is the one.
