I was unsure why I sat through all the usual childish drivel....until the last few minutes when the Ginger one drove that beautiful MGB !

I want one !

Look here mikey, Brown & Gammon is just up the road from me

I sometimes go over there just to drool at what they have in stock!

Eddie...When I was a teenager in the 60's we had no hot hatches. Every boy wanted a MGB, or even better, a MGC !

I saw one of these a few weeks ago, and the owner let me sit in the driving seat, although I had to push the seat right back !

The car Top Gear featured may well have been a Brown & Gammon one. They have a lucrative sideline hiring out cars for TV and film.

I enjoyed this series of TG

By the way , that lady in the shot, behind Patrick Dempsey's left shoulder .
Grumpy face never a smile - she looked like she was dragged kicking and screaming off the street and did not want to be there ; but rather at home knitting a sweater

I had an MGB roadster years ago ,love to drive one now but would not be able to get out.

I had a blue MG Midget when I was about 21yrs old, and was never short of girls, although I think it was my looks that attracted them, not the car :-).

Is the new MG range still based on the engine with the design fault on the head gasket?

[mikey4444]

Zebo....I think that the new Chinese built MGs use different engines from the ones that were made here a few years back ::

Something called an EU6 engine apparently. But perhaps an expert on here could be more specific. I drive cars, not make them or maintain them !

I had 3 MGB Roadsters in the 70's, the last one was one of the last off the production line.
