I agree with that and I can add that MG B/C from the model years 67-69 are
the best looking of the series (in my opinion that is!). Nicest grille. Best
looking dashboards, seats, counters, and so on.

A minus could be you miss some of today's accessories like seatbelts, heated
rear screen, center console and some more small things.

You can make up your own mind, check:

to read about the MGB's evolution. And whatever you choose, I drive a GT for
three weeks now after owning a Mini for three years and I start to like her
more and more. It is a practical good looking and driving car, especially
with a sixcilinder.. :-)
