I took it on as a restoration project with the objective of letting them drive it down to a British car meet on the shores of Lake Geneva in September 2023, while my wife and I drove another car. As such, the focus of my restoration was reliability and safety, hence my somewhat disregard for cost. Fortunately the investment paid off as the MG was 100% reliable during the trip and for the 5000 miles it has done since completing the restoration. The car is happy in traffic with 30°C+ outside temperatures. The MG gets around 35mpg on a run. Selling as I need the space for something else.
