Hey what's not to like? Slower, more ungainly, jacked up compromised
suspension - I guess some people can overlook all that if they happen to
prefer the esthetics of the rubber bumper look ;-)
My preference would be for the last of the 3 synch cars with the large
layshaft - 1967, or the first all synch cars, before they buggered up the
poor things with smog gear - 1968/9.
Of course being at heart an MGA man, I have a striong liking for 3 main
bearing cars - the 63 is in some ways more attractive.
But then the only one I currently own is also the only one with balls - a
1969 MGC. Maybe that's why I have no time for the late cars - I insist that
my cars have some performance along with whatever looks they were born with.
