- I'm relatively new to the Spitfire, and my interest is begining to peak. I'm 15, soon to be 16, and have been looking/saving for an LBC for quite a while, and for quite some time I've wanted an MGB.

- You should probably start out by checking the Triumph list archives. This subject was hashed out in a very long and drawn out battle over the merits of the 2 cars. Having owned both, I will say that

- Great. I suppose the Spitfire is *piquing* your interest too, no? ;-) One of my favorite cars I ever owned was the Spitfire. Not long after I sold it, I tried to buy it back - but no go. Tried again

- How do I access the archives? I'm kinda new to this mailing-list thing, and it's all a little clunky for me! TIA, Brian.

- All conclusions aside, this point isn't really valid. I have seen MANY frame cars that had undriveable frames, but surprisingly few unit body cars that have actually caved. The MGB bodies are phenome

- Some evidence points to heating being significant. The "problem" seems worse in Midget 1500s than Spit 1500s, and it might be no coincidence that the Midget has a much more confined engine bay. As we

- The main difference between the Spitfire and the MGB, is the MGB is a bigger more expensive car when new. A Spitfire has a solid backbone plus it's sills for strength, where as the MGB uses most of t

- Well, I have found the opposite, down here in Texas and Louisiana. Maybe it's the weather and lack of salt on the roads... I have a good friend with many MGB's (we go w-a-a-a-y back, so this hasn't b
