Peter,
Regret I don't know what a faq is. A good book, however, is Guide to
Purchase and DIY Restoration of MGB, Lindsay Porter, pub by Haynes.
Helpful in evaluation of condition and estimation of cost/materials to
repair and improve the car.
Any B is good; different years will suit different drivers better than
others. example--early cars have difficult-to-raise tops, but are
simpler, lighter & quicker. They suffer terrible damage from minor
rear-ender collisions. Rubber bumper cars are much heavier, less
powerful, slower, etc, but they have far better tops, available with
zipper-open rear windows, and air vents on the dashboard, and are less
prone to damage from the rear-enders. Any B is good for your health,
morale, yet probably bad for your morals. Buy a couple!
