I have been commuting in mine for seven years (with a year and a half
off for major restoration. I do keep another car for the months when there
is snow or salt on the roads or for the days when it is seriously raining.
If you maintain the car properly and fix things correctly when they break,
an MGB can be quite reliable. Incidentally, parts for my MG run about
half the cost of comparable parts on my '86 VW.
