That's a big can of worms you're potentially opening :) In my experience, yes an MGB is a very reliable daily driver. I have a 76 where most major systems have been gone through (engine, electrical,

I put a rubber bumpered BGT on there a few years back. The inside part of the tire rubbed a little (but the tires were 185 section) but it made it easily on my 6 hour trip. Tyson Sherman mts3@ra.msst
