Nice car. Have you ever noticed however that on most MGs... mine 73 included, the gap between the bonnet (hood) and the fenders is larger on one side? On this car it's clearly a bit wider on the right side. It's not to fault this car in any way... it fact, this one looks to be in very nice shape. With overdrive I'd say this car is certainly more drivable on highways.... I remember driving to college down I95 in my old 73 ...anything over 65 MPH and you were turning 3000+ RPMs....tough on the engine for an extended period. Good luck with your sale!
